The seller knew nothing about baseball or he wouldn't have added an $18 BIN to begin with.

However, any time you talk a seller into ending an auction early you are in danger of pissing off a lot of bidders who were waiting for the auction to run it's normal, predefined course. This item would have been found by anyone doing a search on "Old Judge" (and there are many who do this).

Also, I highly recommend that if you try to deal offline on anything, offer a fair price - you really don't want people having second thoughts about the deal. And with the BIN publicly advertising the price, all those disgruntled potential bidders became even more disgruntled. You can blame me personally for this if you want, but it's not so, and it wasn't my intention to have this guy back out on you.
