Not at all. Seller is free to end a listing early even if it has bids.

Don't they often have to pay small penalty based on size of bids when they pull?

Based on Ebay policy as of a few years ago, A seller gets 1 pass to cancel an auction early with bids per year, more then that he gets charged a full final value fee on whatever the high bid was when he cancels the auction.

I don't know if the simple run-around on this would be if the seller also cancelled all bids before he ended the auction.

Mugged? Sounds like it was self defense.

Now he has them listed together as a lot of four.......for a mere $100,000 opening bid, and of course he states "these are 1 of a kind!!!!!" , "I hear Bill Gates and Paul Allen may be interested" and "they are in a bank safety deposit box and we'll go to the bank together". Well that settles it, I am all in, who's going to outbid me?

Looks like he ended his first listings with an error in the listing and now he has everything correct with 100k opening and they are in a group! So much for a 50k private offer.

Who cares about those silly cards? You can pick up a jacket from the same seller worn by Mel Blanc!!! I hear Bugs and Daffy are serious bidders!

Either someone bought them or he took them back down as they aren't there anymore. Maybe he will do some research and figure out what they really are and really are worth. Nice cards.....
