Here's an ethical question, which unfortunately could not have applied to the Edison clock in question, since the biddes' IDs were hidden: In situations where a bidder list is viewable and the item in question is clearly being misrepresented, how would you all feel about contacting bidders before the auction ends and letting them know your misgivings? (If only there were some way to alert people BEFORE they bid.) What, in your opinions, are the moral and ethical implications in this?
