I know WHY it goes away, I just said that i don't think it should...I believe you should be able to sell something with no reserve to the highest bidder and still offer people the option to buy it now for a set price any time during the auction. No big deal, I was just explaning why it stated in the auction that it could be ended at any time, because someone asked. As I said, unless someone agrees to pay what the buy it now was, the auction will run regardless of final price. Hope that clears it up.
