I also think that kind of organziation might actually drive prices up - alot of the best deals are when you see something others underrate because the pictures are bad or the description had a typo - if every razor goes up for dibs, that won't happen.
Also don't think it's really fair to the sellers. We may be 1/2 the market but there's nothing really wrong with that. [also just buy right after christmas - great deals then]
