It could also be used so that, let's say I was looking at Campy Record headsets, and I found a listing that I was interested in, but that there was already a bidder. If, by checking the list, I discovered that the bidder was one of us, I could PM them through BF, and see if they were in need of the item, or just thought they could use it. We could then work out if I should bother bidding or not.
Any thought?
Not a good idea IMO. Smacks of collusion. Put yourself in the seller's shoes. Plus eBay already has enough problems.
