I have to side with Dale and Jay (and others?) on this issue. Outing a item on CR isn't always about attracting more sharks to the frenzy. I appreciate being made aware of some items because I'm curious or possibly just haven't ever seen the item before. I think that applies to others as well. I have very rarely, if ever, jumped on something that was "outed" on CR. I've also chosen not to bid against other known CR members (although I have no hard-and-fast rule on that). More than anything else, this list is about sharing information and learning. Often, interesting discussions have been generated just by an eBay item. I think that, more often than not, that is the real reason items get "outed" in this forum.
But that's just my opinion.
