Calculation

-"Does not compute" - is a phrase I must have picked up from some pop sci-fi nonsense. I was alluding to the fact that from the information available the bidding on the mall does not make logical sense. e.g. You bid, I bid more, You bid even more, I stop cos I don't believe the purchase is a worthwhile investment.
From this perspective there is a discontinuity in the bidding on PA, cause n' effect says there must be a reason. You offered reasons: only 1 of which makes logical sense to me...the others in this context are not logical.

Reason 1: The money was available to bid through a series of transactions which took deliberate enactment.
Reason 2: More money would be potentially gained paying the lowest possible asking price.
Reason 3: Motive is apparent...but appears to violate public auction rules i.e Pre-arranged behind closed doors.
Reason 4: Too vulgar in this context.

Occams Razor says Reason 3 - I would like to discuss this if not offered an alternative logical reason.

Etopias defensive stance is obvious cos this reeks.
