Hmm. I'm not sure about that. Letting everyone know who bid, except
for the winning bidder seems to me to be killing the idea of a private
auction. Maybe if I gave the list to the winning bidder since they are
the one who would be most vulnerable to shills.
I'll need to ponder your idea for a bit from the perspective of a
buyer.
