Yeah a bunch of crap. I rarely ask a seller to end an item early because I feel that as a seller, if I tell him I am willing to go to, let's say $1000.00 on an item, then why not let the auction run it's course and see if someone is willing to go to $1100 or more?
I just think that a buyer enters into an agreement to purchase an item once they place a bid, doesn't a seller also enter such an agreement once they list the item?
Once I told a seller, "please don't end the auction early, I GUARANTEE you that I will out-bid anybody for the item". He emails me back and tells me don't worry, I won't. Then he ends the item with less than 12 hours to go in the auction and I had placed several competitive bids already. I just don't get that mentality.
