On pretty much every auction over the past year or so I've listed which is of a reasonable value, I've had someone asking if I could close the auction early. The worrying thing is that on many occassions the people asking were fairly experienced ebayers.

I've never closed auctions early, and I tell them that I won't be closing the auction early. I also make sure the question gets posted onto my auction, so others know this.

I would wonder why they want you to close the auction early (is it an item of value that you dont know about?)

Surely they can bid the BIN they would chose to pay anyway and see if they get it. I always think its dodgy if someone approaches you direct as they obviously want it cheaper than they think the auction will go to.
