Yes, somebody could auction an "Ordering service for McD's exclusive from Lego
S@H!" Description: "After the lucky winner sends me their address, I will
dial xxx xxx-xxxx and order one special edition McD's set for $11, which will
be delivered directly to your door from Lego S@H!" Wonder if that would fly,
or if they'd find some way to remove that auction, too? Hmmm...interesting.
