I lay off when I recognize a member unless I really want something. At a certain point of "coordination" the seller is being cheated. Should members collaborate to keep the price of Pauly's Stella down?

I have a different problem as a seller on e-bay. Under the old email access I had a bidder email all the bidders (but not me) announcing a defect that didn't exist on a bike I was selling. I scratched my head for 6 months about the low price until I found out.
