seller did nothing wrong.  seller probably was surprised that it did  not 
sell, and listed it for 24.99 (to keep his ebay fee at the listing price  
cut-off 
point).  seller probably would have been disappointed had it  actually sold 
for 24.99 or so, but certainly understood the risk.  it is  always a risk to 
start a poster low:  it might sell cheaply when there is  no bidding wars.   
 
I AM SURE THAT OPINIONS WOULD BE ALTERED IF WE SAW LISTING !!!!!
 
the only 2 times i purchased items after the ebay auction ended  from 
strangers (and i did not bid) were negotiated amounts:  1000 and  225.  both 
those 
posters were from local sellers and we met face to  face.  my approaches to the 
sellers were friendly, and politely  referenced recent sales of the titles.  
but i wouldn't negotiate on either  side to chisel down a 25.00 posters:  that 
seems so petty.
 
this reminds me of the days of MCW.  in those days, you called, and  made an 
offer and injected humor so the harsh emails of counter-offers is not  deemed 
as insulting.
 
ON THE OTHER HAND...............................I have  purchased posters on 
ebay where i was the sole bidder.  You always  wonder if the seller would have 
re-listed it cheaper.  If you really  want it.........buy it unless the 
prices is too overpriced.    But we  all have stories similar to this 
expereince:  
i once listed a poster for  400.  it did not sell.  i re-listed it for 375 
with a buy-it-now for  575.  i did not sell.  i re-re-listed it and it sold for 
BUY IT NOW at  575.  TIMING IS EVERY IN LIFE AND ON EBAY.
