[Groop] DVD of Groo collection on eBay

[Promethea]

... Which is all why that sort of auction violates eBay listing rules...

Hey Tone

The problem is that person A wants book 1 and person B wants book 2. They
are forced into an artificial bidding war for different items. That isn't a
fair thing to do. In the alternative, they can see what everyone is bidding
for and decide what they want to make an attempt at. I'm sure someone with
more legal knowledge than me can explain this properly but it is really
annoying as a buyer.

TBH I think it backfires because if person A has bid then person B will wait
til the auction ends and then bid when it is re-listed. The seller will get
less than if they had sold all the books as one lot (generally, of course,
some people will not take the gamist approach). Likely as not the buyer will
take the book he wants and then sell the rest so the other person gets a
chance to get the book they wanted too.

P.S. I just thought: if everyone replies to your post and copies the whole
post, we could really make Rick Loomis go loopy :-)
