Not if you think it's fair to end auctions early...
The issue here is the fact that you had people on here who were interested in buying your kit, and wanted to make you an offer, but you didn't give them anything to go on. I would have probably paid £30 for the cranks and up to £60 for the wheels. If you'd put a price on them you could have sold them straight away. I posted a DMR hub a couple of months back - I asked for around £30, got an offer of £25 and sold it for that. I knew it was brand new and retailed for just shy of £40, so priced it accordingly. Only you know the condition of this stuff and so you're the only person who really knows what you'd want for it. Instead of keeping it to yourself and asking for 'offers', just put it out there. You don't have to sell if you don't want to.
As for deciding on a price, I didn't know what they were worth - I still don't, but I'm working on the basis that I can get a set of new Campag Khamsins for about £85, so I wouldn't be willing to pay that for a used wheelset - unless they were pretty spectacular.
