Greg- I understand your point and respect it. In the last 6 or 7 years I have made an offer a couple of times to have an auction ended early, once on a set completing card and one other time on a card I had not seen offered in a long time. Neither card was a card that was on anyone else's "hot list" and both were relatively obscure and not in that great of demand. I didn't feel I was climbing over anyone to get the cards, I saw the card go on ebay for sale, contacted the seller and asked him what he would take for it and we contracted a sale. Did I feel badly because there MIGHT have been someone else out there who MIGHT have bid on it? No. Would I do it on any card other than a set completing situation? Probably not.
After reading all these posts I think if that situation ever presented itself again I would ask the seller to add a BIN to the listing though....
