Reply to "Bidding on an item with no bids (HELP!)"

I agree, I rarely see auctions end early.
And AS is all about concealment.
Also, placing a minimum bid doesn't
guarantee they won't end the aution early. They could cancel everyones bids or any single bid
at thier discretion.

I have encountered a handful of auctions that ended early, but with literally millions of auctions going on at any moment, I think you will find that only the tiniest percentage are ever ended early. I would definitely say that it does not happen with the frequency that "alot" suggests.
