There has to be a large enough number of sellers at any
given time for it to work, though.  Eventually I think
there will be.

Even better, IMO, is where sellers could register sets
that they want to sell and the amounts they are willing
to sell them for, and then forget about them until the
demand reaches that point and they get an inquiry.

I would be surprised if Todd has not yet thought about these
possibilities as part of the potential of Lugnet.

Yup, reverse auctions (not to be confused with reserve auctions! :)
are mentioned in the second paragraph here:

Another thing, the charter of this group is:
Auction announcements, updates, listings, and analysis

Is this sort of discussion considered "analysis"?

Definitely.  At least, it fits perfectly into the category of discussions
that I had in mind when I used the word "analysis."


If not, which lugnet group is it appropraite for?

This is a good place, IMO.  If things get pretty deep, another possibility
might be to create lugnet.market.theory or lugnet.market.auction.theory --
these were talked about last summer.
