I don't have to let teh auction end if the price is not what I want

what? surely you must. people can't just not let buyers purchase who bid over the minimum just because they don't think it's enough. that's the whole point of the minimum bid.

If you cannot complete your listing as planned, you can end your listing before the scheduled date. If there are bids on your item, you can cancel them.

Reasons for ending listings early include:

* The item is no longer available for sale.
* There was an error in the starting price or reserve amount.
* There was an error in the listing.
* The item was lost or broken.

Note: Your account will still be charged listing fees (such as the Insertion Fee) if you end your listing early. Consider revising your listing first if there are aspects of it you want to change or improve.

...

Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated.

Here is my strategy: revise the auction while there are no bids, and put in a reserve price of the bottom range of what you want it to sell for (i.e. GBP 300 or so)
