I think some people are missing something.  He had it listed at a lower price, he sold it to the first bidder (or someone contacted him to buy it outright), and he apparently knew how to change the starting price, but not how to end the auction early (for which there's no penalty--you simply say that "the item is no longer for sale").

          I smell something fishy. Usually, when you end an auction early, you
have
          to pay Ebay based on the highest bid at the time the auction was
ended.
          Sounds like he was looking to get out of Ebay fees. It's just as
easy to
          end the auction as it is to edit the price.

          At least he's a friendly seller. :)
