I, for one, think it is a great idea and have no problems at all with it!
Among other things, it does away with the luck of being the first person to
read a post and get the item. Also, it keeps the item in this community
which is most likely a good thing.
Another approach is to use the pre-approved bidder list on Ebay, and only
approve people on this list to bid. From my standpoint, that might penalize
the lurkers since *I* would only recognize the people that have posted in
the past. OTOH, it might encourage people to post once in a while :).
