Ending an item with bids

[cobweb*]

Buyer has made a very good offer for an item with two bids.  I fear the bidding will never go as high as the offer.  I can't add a Buy-It-Now because it has bids.  I would like to end the auction and change the item to a B-I-N.   Is it do-able under the circumstances?   I'm willing to risk losing the bidders as customers.

Well the op didn't like the advise here and canceled the auction and sold it for a bin price.

Someone probably offered them a lot more than the first guy.

Bet the OP will be shocked to see it listed back on ebay in a week or two for 5x what they got for it BIN......after the buyer scams them, of course.

I just used the feature where you end an auction and sell to bidder, but I had only the 1. (I asked first). Buyer and seller satisfied. It was something I was content to get the opening bid for. There are hundreds of similar items and it had sat in my store for some time with no action.

Just last month I put something up for sale that was outside my normal knowledge base.  Knew it was valuable, just not how high it would go.

Within an hour of listing it had a couple bids and an email offer of $250. 

It sold for almost $1500.  Yes, I let the auction run to completion.  And paid my rent for 2 months.  Groceries too.

After fees that wouldn't even cover one month of my rent 😞
