If people stop buying from him---he will stop his process--simple market
dynamics!

I think that is the biggest issue with this whole thing.  A fellow looking 
for a decent radio at a decent price was bested by a fellow who is only in 
the business to buy and resell.  And do it in a way that usually makes many 
of us sick.

It's not about the fairness of the auction...there is no question there, 
it's the underlying issues.  If anyone....anyone else had won the auction it

probably wouldn't have been a big deal...

Just my reading between the lines...
