I tend to agree - it's very annoying to have an auction closed early if you're bidding.

Having said that, this chap is the high bidder at the mo. If he stops, everybody else might too and it'll go for £195 instead of $600 (£302).

Hmm.

If he is the Top Bidder Simon,
You can bet your Bottom $ he won't want to pay all that extra now.

You could be right John. Hard to say though.

Bidder number 2 is only £5 behind him and probably needs editing gear because he bought this recently:

Well it sold a couple of hours ago for £370 so just as well I didn't accept the Yankee offer.

:lol:

Bit of a battle at the end - winner is from France (Rochefort).

Good result Simon.
I think you have to make a decision in your mind before posting on EBay
that is to let it run to the end unless you have a Buy it Now price.

Simon W · 4th April 2008, 20:53

Exactly right John.

The American got a tad peeved though - withdrew his bids. What a shame

(99% certain about that, perhaps someone else will confirm?)

Absolutely correct Basil....

Imho, if you are selling by auction then you let it run....if they want it they will bid
