depends on what is being auctioned


True. Are we talking about auctioning beanie babies or dialysis treatments? I expect that folks would be much more accepting of the former than the latter.

(To be clear, I'm not saying that Uber rides fall in the same category as dialysis treatments, just that folks are more sensitive to "unfair" pricing as the product or service gets more essential.)


Uber provides transportation. Transportation is much closer to the dialysis side of the spectrum than the beanie baby side.
