If an item pops up on ebay which is a card needed for set completion or one which is nearly impossible to find, an email to the seller asking if he would consider selling the item (not mentioning an offered price) lets the buyer know if the seller might be willing to sell to someone and end the auction early, so it is useful to get a response that "sorry, I am going to let it run its course." That way you can relax (usually) and enter your sniper bid without fear of the card disappearing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
