I would definitely argue that pointing out a retail outlet that is selling
something that is being auctioned is definitely NOT siphoning.  You gain
nothing by pointing out that S@H (or Kmart, TRU, etc) has something
available.

See section 5 for the rule against offering bidders items. At least
that's how I read:

"You may not email bidders in a currently open auction being run by a
different seller, offering similar or the same items at any price level
(bid siphoning)"

It could be argued that informing a bidder of a third party is not quite
bid siphoning...
