Thanks for the try... I just noticed the early ending too! I sent the seller a note to see what happened, and to inform them that the last one was asking $25,000. I HATE IT when these big-ticket items get pulled early. If I had truly intended to get it, I'd have eMailed the seller right off the bat, warning them of people trying to get them to sell and quit early at a greatly reduced price. I wonder if they got a $1000 offer and thought they'd laugh all the way to the bank for selling a nonworking B&W TV for $1000? If so, little do they know......

When I was selling a Meissner 5" prewar set on eBay last year for a friend, I got TONS of eMails from people hoping I didn't know what it was, and that I might sell it for $1000 or so, when the bidding was still young. Some of them very pushy.
