Is this kosher with eBay? Can a seller stop an auction, that has bids, whenever they want? In a fit of sour grapes, I emailed the seller and told him how much the CC1 is actually worth. I suggested that he might have done a bit better had he allowed the auction to run its course. I hope he did sell it for $100 or so. Sellers who allow this sort of practice should be screwed in every deal they get involved in. I see the high bidder often in auctions that I am involved in. I also have looked at his web site. As I recall, he had a huge tirade there about some eBay seller (in Europe, not America) that really cheated him and how that sort of action should be punished, etc. I guess he is getting even with the rest of the world by doing what we think he did. I have been tempted to buy a computer or two from him, but no longer will I even consider it. Pi..ed Off Regards, Dick Schneiders
