Auction Bidding

According to what I saw on the linked item provided, the Luger sold for $655. If an item has a winning bid and you end it early, it's sold as far as GB is concerned. This means he had to pay the listing and final value fees. He must have had a pretty good price on it at the store. I detest this practice of pulling guns off an auction after they have winning bids. Plus, it's stupid, because you never know how high something will go in the last minutes. If you're worried about not getting enough for it, set a reserve or start it at your minimum. What's so hard about that? These guys are idiots, so you're better off not winning the gun. There would probably be more idiocy trying to pay him and get it mailed.
