I don't know how much he wants, but it's going to go for big bucks.
It appears he is going to take what he gets as there is no reserve on it!

Nope!  He reserves the right to end the auction.   He states "  I do have it presently at an antique shop on consignment. So I reserve the right to end the auction early."

 You'd think Ebay wouldn't allow it.  I saw many items on Ebay stop their listings early by saying "the item is no longer available."  I lost an 81B that way.  Some guy, as the story went, found it in an old Rocky Mountain resort that closed in 1960.  It was mint!!!

Watch and see, I bet he pulls it if he doesn't get what he wants.  A high reserve cost the seller money.  Taking it off early does not.

He has to end it prior to 12 hours remaining or it can't be done.
eBay won't allow a seller to end an auction early if:
A: There are bids
and
B: Less than 12 hours to go.

I've had it happen to me before.  Sometimes Ebay doesn't abide by their own rules.  I had bids on many items and then "POOF" the next time I looked at the item there were no bids and a little note saying that the buyer ended the auction early.  I don't think it's fair, especially if you really want something and you are the highest bidder.  As we all know the real auction takes place in the last few minutes, but I don't think this item will last that long.

People always use excuses when they end their items early.  I've  heard many.  One of my favorites was that I accidently ran it over with the car.  I'm still waiting for my dog ate it.

Ending the auction early is really stupid, all the bidding occurs in the last few seconds of an auction anyway... especially for something really nice... I've had unique items go from $100's to THOUSANDS in a matter of 30 seconds at the end of an auction!... that's fun to see.

I'd love one of these too, but need to sell a few more of my Vendo 81's to be able to buy one...

This guy is SCUM, Months ago, he pulled the same crap. A No reserve auction and Jeff Wolf was the high bidder then and he ended the auction, so Jeff, offered him $5000.00 for it and he said ok, Well Jeff went to send the money and he changed his mind, told Jeff, he wanted $5400.00 What a piece of SHI@% This guy is. Jeff, was the high bidder, when he pulled the auction this time. This is whit I sent him.
You are about as low as they come, E-bay should ban you for 6 months as a warning. This is the second time you have pulled this crap with this machine. NO RESERVE, BIG DEAL, I'LL JUST PULL IT AT THE LAST MIN. IF I DON"T GET WHAT I WANT. People like you give E-bay a bad name. You told to many people what you were up too. Word travels fast. Everyone's got your number!You will never see 5K Everyone at Chicago saw you and though it was over priced then. Give it up.

The guy Emailed me back, From Ebay, kind of went like this- You F@#$$^ this and you F#$@%^^ That, on and on. Must have learned that from his Mother. I should report the Email to Ebay. They don't like that. I guess the truth hurts. Oh well.
