how is that supposed to work?
i certainly don't want to pay the winners price if it is higher than my
maximum. if nobody else except wants to pay the winners price then
nobody will take items 2 - 5 they will have to reacution.
if there are differences in quality of the items then everybody should
get to pay what they offered. if the items are identical, then everybody
should get to pay the lowest offer.
