Higgins 1" web glove for $71.00 and it turned out to be a Hans Wagner when I cleaned it up verses emailing a seller selling a crescent pad fielders glove and making them an offer to end their auction early and sell it for a set price which is far less than what the glove is worth. That is just taking advantage of someone who has no idea of the value of the item they are selling which is wrong. I have seen alot of auctions ended early lately on Ebay and it seems this practice is happening far too often. I recently won a D&M Ehmke 3 finger and paid $510 for it on Ebay but I also had to email the seller as soon as I saw the listing to let them know the value and ask them not to end the auction early. The woman told me she had just been offered $200.00 to end it early and sell it and was about to do it before she got my email. Needless to say she was very happy she let the auction run and made $300 more.
The crescent glove in the above auction link would have sold for $600 or more so I hope the seller was offered a far price and not just a few hundred dollars.
