For the record, I agree with this and do my deals similarly. But isn't talking about 'competition for an object' a capitalistic description that is likely against the ethos of CC?
And then of course, I also wonder about the few FTers who put in their offer that they will ONLY respond to members who put a YHPM in their thread. So basically they are saying 'I know I can't bump this thread every 3 hours, so I'll force you to do it for me! (And in the process, create more competition for the very item that you are interested in.)
