funny things auctions...
living,breathing and dynamic beasts.
What sets market value ? Watching other people purchase items in a frenzy.
Ten years ago near where I worked, fake perfume sellers would stop on a city
footpath and with their own plants mock purchasing bottles would generate
some interest in passers-by.
Surely it's up to purchasers to inform themselves being bidding or buying
anything. And what about stores that sell 20% above MSRP ? Not to mention
'sales?' that happen at such stores.
No bidders are at gunpoint.
