As someone who's not an active seller, my question is why don't |

But, the fact of the matter is, the winning bids come in the last few seconds. Right or wrong, that's how it seems to me. |

If I were selling something that I knew very little about on Ebay with a 7 day listing & watched the days go by with little or no bidding...I would entertain offers. |

Sellers have to understand that there are a lot of these guys out there. Once they do they'll stop closing down auctions prematurely. |

And watch the snipers duel it out with their MAX during the last few seconds. ..... this is not for the feint of heart. |

I must agree with Peter. As a seller if a receive an outstanding offer from a collector that I know I will always shut down the auction rather than wait hopefully for an onslaught of bids in the last ten seconds. |

If I find a seller pulling a Hudini, I simply take him off the list of last second shootouts. |

If the people who close auctions early are those people who for lack of a better term, "walk into" a nice collection or card and don't really follow the hobby. Therefore, when there is no bid for the first few days and they get a high offer, off goes the card from the board so to speak. |

i've never ended an auction early...though asked only about 1/4 of the time on really good cards, and every time the "end it early" offers were lower than what the card sold for... |

I've never ended an auction early and I've received some tempting offers. Part of me just doesn't think its fair, that once I've commited to selling this way I should see it through to the end. On the other hand I'm also a bit of a gambler and I have faith that if it's a good item bidders will come. |

I once put up for auction a large trophy given to football HOFers George Blanda & George Connor for winning a celebrity golf tournament. A Bears fan offered me a liberal price to end the auction early. I told him to bid instead, as his offer was higher than the trophy would go for. He won the auction at lower price (as I expected), but higher than I paid for the trophy-- so we were both satisfied. As a seller, my rule was to never end an auction early if there was at least one bid, so the dilema of whether or not to end the auction was not an issue. |

another good point david, i hold "grudges" against certain sellers if they are rude in replies, never send a scan or answer a question if i've asked several times, etc... |

There's something on eBay I really want at the moment. After seeing several items disappear because of what you are talking about, I specifically told the guy that I would be interested in knowing a BIN price that they would be willing to end the auction for. He told me that it was his policy to never end auctions early. At least now I have some assurance from him that this won't happen. |

I don't end auctions early, as a rule, but it is a rule I am beginning to think may deserve the old heave-ho. |
