what if a bidder were to bid on an obvious scam auction (like the ones
currently runnin on set 3438 - mcdonalds drivethru) and then retract
with a comment such as "holy wow! i bought one direct from lego instead
for $11!"

is that bid siphoning?

just a thought. personally, i don't have a disposable account to test
the theory with.
