It looks like a ground-swell of opposition to the seller, people who have
been burned by the seller getting an ID to use to spoil the auction by
bidding it into outer space... the seller knows he won't be getting paid,
and the high-bid names are an indication of the seller's reputation. I guess
we did something similar with our friend with the 35/2.8 described as a
35/2.0 a while back...
