I sometimes wonder how much inadvertent eBay counter-bidding I am doing against people who I am friends with or know

There should be some kind of browser extension where you can see what your friends of bidding on to avoid accidentally stepping on each other's toes (I don't think this counts as price fixing... probably?)

@benjojo I'm in a Discord for a relatively niche hobby, and there's an auctions channel that was originally meant for just sharing cool finds, but it's also become a way to deconflict bidding on popular items.

@benjojo @chaz the nwtekno dot org forum's finest legal minds once declared event promoters shouldnt schedule shows on purposely deconflicted dates because it would raise federal antitrust concerns
