This is a real public service. More people can find better deals, this increases the pool of bidders, taxpayers will get more money for the auction. Discoverability is hugely important to these auctions.


Thank you. Yes, you could definitely say that I'm undermining a personal arbitrage advantage on this corner of the Internet, but I couldn't resist trying to "fix" it and better surface all of these woefully inefficient mini-marketplaces.


Well, you are mostly increasing liquidity and cutting out the middleman that is the wholesale purchasers and bidders. Price discovery is more accurate now for personal users as many tend to be physically closer to the location.
