Rich:

Not quite. You didn't allow the item to "run its course", i.e., you didn't allow other eBay bidders to increase their bids by keeping the item on the auction block for the amount of time you "promised". I think this is a facinating discussion! What would you do IF... you put an item on eBay, say US coin, starting bid is $5 in a 7 day auction. Two days into the auction you discover that your coin is indeed a RARE example "worth" say, $10,000.00. What would you do?
