'84 UrQ on ebay

[Eric_R_Kissell at email.whirlpool.com]

Can anyone explain to me why anyone would ever end an auction early?

The price is not set until everyone is "all in and all done" so what is the
advantage from ending the auction early. Maybe if you get a non-auction
offer with cash in hand, but even then I do not totally see the rationale
for not waiting another several hours to see how much you can get.
Especially on Ebay, where often the price takes off towards the end of the
auction.

Just curious.

I was a little ticked that the auction was over when I went to place my bid
after having freed funds for the purchase (read "talked my wife into it").
