I also wrote to this person, inquiring how they came to have this radio
prior to its release. They wrote back:

I am very sorry for this misunderstanding. I went through the internet
and I think this one really is not released yet. I was mistaken by my
providers, they may mixed-up something. Thank you for reminding me
this. I shell take this item out of auction

And yet, the auction continues. I just pulled it up on ebay. I'm not
sure this person can end the auction now that there are 9 bids on the
item, can he?


I had this argument with a buyer a few months ago. Yes, a person CAN end an
auction, even if it has bids on it.

1) if the item becomes unavailable (i.e. broken or otherwise)
2) if the seller has decided not to sell the item (this actually goes with
1) above)
3) to sell the item to the highest current bidder

Yes, it's all there in the rules.
