I have made offers after an auction ended unsold but never during an auction. I have indeed received emails from people wanting me to end an auction for a price but have always found the price to end up being way under what the item eventually sells for. It is usually people who have been trying to get the item but always gets outbid. I always respond that there are other interested parties and it would not be fair to them to end early. There has been at least one time where the item sold for 10 times more than the offered price. It really surprised me but I am sure it did not surprise the person who made the offer. I learned after that point to stick it out.
Now I need to go snipe something.......

Would you consider adding the buy-it-now feature? thoughts? michael ________________________________ Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make meals for under $10.
