[Milsurplus] OT: "End this auction now? "

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

However, conversely,  I had  someone make me an offer once   and I turned 
it  down... and it  sold  for  only half   what the person offered. They had  
found once  elsewhere    for about  what  they had  offered  me.
 
So not all is bad...  just evaluate the offer one at a time.

I recently got my feet wet again in Ebay, sold a paper  item, as a learning 
experience for running some ham gear thru  there. 
I was very surprised to get a "Would you end this auction  right now for 
$-----  ? " message.  Of course I didn't reply; too  dumb 
a message to deign replying. I wonder why this lives on,  and why  people 
fall for it. The item I had, sold for about twice the   
"end early" offer. I have seen a pretty rare WW2 Japan  radio  disappear 
suddenly off Ebay, no doubt due to the same   
game. I had a rare headphone, imagine if you can a U.S.  headphone selling 
for over $500, surprised the hell out of me  too, 
this was a few years back, and I got a "end early" offer on  that too.  
Real dumb.
