Silver KingPotential bidders get mad when auctions end early because they took the time and effort to search out certain items and when they finally do find it, they want to bid. We are all addicted to eBay searches and every now and then there is something that really strikes our fancy. If that particular item ends early, it is very frustrating. I think seller's that end auctions early almost always leave money on the table because most offers do not approach what the auction might bring on a good day. This doesn't mean that all auctions that end early are that way, just a lot of them. I don't know Charlie but it appears he is a veteran and probably wouldn't have accepted a low offer. It appears several people were willing to bid and nowadays nobody bids until the last 10-seconds of the auction so it's impossible to tell how the auction is going. I for one will pay more then fair market value for a few things, but I'm not going to offer it to a seller to end the auction early.
