In fact, to take your technique to it's ultimate conclusion, here is the
scenario as I see it:

I am a buyer and am interested in purchasing a BSB say...
I post a message to the group thus:

Wanted - unopened BSB willing to pay $450
decrements in $25 units min

Current offer $300 + 3 firing cannons (seller 4)
Previous offer $300 (seller 3)
Previous offer $325 (seller 4)
Previous offer $350 (seller 3)
Previous offer $400 (seller 2)
Previous offer $450 (seller 1)

Some sales have been run this way.  I believe it is called a 'reverse
auction'.
