I'm not in the U.S., but isn't that false advertising? If it is listed
with a minimum bid of $400, if I bid $400 and was the only bidder,
will I get the radio?

If not, IMHO that's false advertising. Since there is a hidden reserve,
you can't read his ad and determine the price. What if you went into a
store and they had the same deal? His ad states that you can bid $400
and have a chance of owning the radio, which is not true.

I know it's an eBay standard. But is it legal?

Someone in the U.S. should complain to the Federal Trade Commission,
and the consumer action groups.
