That was the whole point of my concern - was it possible that someone made an offer MATCHING RESERVE PRICE OR HIGHER. And that offer was not converted into visible bid because it was not made via "bidding process" but rather by email/phone etc.

If Op confirmed that ALL OFFERS totaling those 48.000$ were BELLOW reserve price then all my concerns would vanish immediately.

I have asked this three times already and since it was not confirmed I am still asking to be sure

I can not put it more clear than that ^.
