Sellers should never end ebay auctions early because they will almost always be offered less than their card will ultimately sell for and they will almost always piss off everyone bidding on it, so in the end everybody loses. If a bidder sees a card worth $1000 plus and the current bid is $11, I would recommend he place a high ceiling and hope somebody elses pushes it up; the higher the bid the seller sees he is getting, the less likely he is going to consider shutting down his auction. There are bargains on ebay but you can't buy a card for 2% of its value and others are going to find it. Every auction that closes early ends up with some kind of fallout, especially in such a competitive and cutthroat environment.
