Ending a sale??

I have bid on a item which now has 22hrs to go,the seller states in his auction that he reserves the right to end the sale early as the item is advertised elsewhere.Can he do this now there is less than 24hrs to go?,the item is at the moment way below its value & i am currently the only bidder,i do realise other bids are likely to come in late,but i am wondering if he will get "cold feet"& withdraw the item.

    you can only end an auction if there are 12 or more hours left

    I always thought if there had been a bid on a sale,after 24hrs a sale could not be cancelled,oh well i shall just have to wait&see.

    the seller could still pull out even after the auction has finished if the sale didnt reach the amount he wants...

    you cant force someone to sell, and they could say it sold elsewhere...
