If I lost money, so be it.

I do the same thing. If it has a bid I do not cancel it. I also usually do not cancel a listing anyway. I hate when it happens to me when I want a card so I try too keep that in mind.

It has cost me before when the offer was way higher than the winning bid. It has also worked out for me. Recently I was offered $1200 to end a listing. Without a bid already I would have cancelled the listing and sold it for that offer. Since it had a bid I let it run and it ended at almost twice the offer.
