Obviously, like the others said, the seller *can* 
do anything they want. However (and being bred as 
a scientist has given me this position), *can* 
NEVER means *should*.

I haven't had this happen about a cel, but I was 
once bidding on an import video game that I 
*really* wanted for my friend's birthday. I was 
determined to get it to the point that I didn't 
bother looking into other presents. At the last 
moment of the auction (ten day one, mind you), 
the seller cancelled all the bids and cancelled 
the auction. Why? "Decided not to sell item." As 
far as I'm concerned, that decision is made 
**BEFORE** an item is put up for auction - not 
after. I was very disappointed. . . And PISSED 
that I had to go find a "last minute" present for 
my friend. ~_~

Other than something unfortunate happening to the 
item before the end of the auction, there should 
be NO acceptable reason for cancelling an 
auction. It wouldn't be considered acceptable if 
I cancelled my bid and my reason was: "Decided 
not to buy the item."  >_<
