I'm sure he could have closed the auction because it's not unusual to see auctions closed prior to their scheduled ending with the explanation that the item is no longer for sale, or words to that effect. Of course then eBay would want their take! I'm no expert on eBay, but I didn't think you could change certain terms of the auction once the auction had started, i.e. raising the price to some ridiculous level. If eBay is paying attention, I don't think they would be fooled by such a move.
