i wouldnt push. if its no bid then hell id push for it. maybe tweak it up a little more . but if theres a bid be fair like if you were the one bidding. but if its a guy that has done this to you numerous times and youve foudn this out then hell go after it and make sure he looses out on this auction.

Yes, do it. Just place a bid large enough to be high bidder then he can use the "closed early to sell to the highest bidder" option. eBay gets some fees for providing the venue, the seller saves a little money and you get to eliminate the competition.

Sounds like he is being fair to the current bidder. Why not bid to your max and see what happens?

lol, I didn't think anyone was going to respond, and then I thought I might be breaking the rules, so I edited the post--------------BigE

"Ebay" and "Ethics"

Is it allowable to use those two words in the same sentence?

BigE

ChodeLee, the coin looks special to me, and if someone else sees it they might agree-----------------------BigE(rhyme intended)

OK, this is what I told him "Bill, that is an interesting question and I asked a friend about it and he said it is OK to do and if I bid a slight increment above the highest bidder then you can end the auction "with a sold to the highest bidder option". You still get the 50.00 and E-Bay is happy. If it OK with you it is OK with me and I will take it. Thanks--------------BigE I guess this is OK---------------------------------------------BigE

Sure! "Many people on eBay have no ethics." <-- Don't kill me! See, smiley see!

I think that reference was to some eBay personnel not having ethics!!
