There was an eBay auction for a Gally cel that ended yesterday. It was a close-up profile. The 
seller had the cel on an earlier auction with a reserve. I'm pretty sure they stated free shipping 
if it sells for over 1K. The high bid on that auction was only around $150. I guess the reserve 
scared everyone away.

This latest auction did NOT have a reserve. The last highest bid I saw was around $455, but 
the auction was ended by the seller about 20 minutes early.  Hmmmm. Did they get a great 
independent offer or where they scared to sell it at the highest bid?

Is it common to end auctions early if you don't get the price you want? And, the highest bidder 
could never leave feedback on that kind of practice.  It seems to me a bad way to run an 
auction if that was the case.

Thoughts, anyone?
