I just wanted to comment on the whole sharing of ebay ids. This is a great idea. It keeps prices from being driven up. Information etc. can be shared at a later date. Not bidding against another MLU member is common courtesty to those in the hobby that share their ebay ids. It appears that many are not adhering to this rule and bid against each other thus driving prices upward. portee44 is an example who seems to bid against other mlu members fairly often. When an MLU member has bid on an item my feelings are that that item is offgrounds.
At the same time if the "first" bidder does not want to go any further in the bidding they should let others know that they have dropped out of the running and that it is "fair game." Then the rules start all over again.
My two cents on the topic.
