The joys of ending an auction early..

[pinbreaker]

I had a seller contact me about an item and kept wanting me to lower the price, I kep telling him no and when he would make an offer, and I would decline and offer him what I would be willing to sell the item at.. After a while I just got tired of his annoying offers and I just ended the auction to not have to get any more comments on this item.. 

I did not end the item to sell it to him at a lower offer or off of EBAY as they say I did.. As a seller I don't sell off of EBAY as I want the EBAY protection!
