Bid what you're willing to pay and forget about it. You'll either win it or you won't. This "no mentioning auctions on the list" policy is utter nonsense.
Fuck the policy (which is a recommendation, by the way): you know there is at least one person in the list who minds live auctions getting published, for this reason or the other. You know that the same *on-topic* discussion can take place after the option has ended.
Why do you think, given the above, that it makes sense to publish the auction?
