I have been hit by this a couple times myself.
About a year ago, I was buying up basically all the NOS Filarmonica's I could find.
Every other auction ended up being posted here with all the oooh's and aaaaah's about how ridiculous the prices had gotten.

It seems much easier to join the choir in these ebay threads whenever the product is not of personal interest, yet some cry wolf when it affects personally

Personally, I say post about auctions if you will, but remember that the ones you are bidding on yourself, might wind up in here as well

The sellers must think it is a good thing though..
