I see he has had no bids yet either - you would think he'd be quick to respond wouldn't you ?!

If the exterior is anything to go by, looks like a nice clean boat...

Those pictures were sent to me by the owner with no additional comments except, "I'm sorry to see her go." I will add that I heard these pics are out of date though this is via one interested party who is a member here. He stopped by the boat and reported that, "It will need new sails, running & standing rigging replaced, and the interior is tired." Of course, this is what many do as a given when they buy these boats as usually the owners have stopped sailing and the care has dropped. It's a great way to get a lower initial price, too.

I put in a minimum bid and later got this back:

"Cancelled: $5,500.
Explanation: The seller ended the listing early and cancelled all bids."

why does ebay allow this? what stops everybody from just canceling their auctions if their price expectations are not met?

Also, she could have been for sale locally although the ad didn't state that.
