Suppose you have an acution here.
1. Someone bids.
2. Buyer posts "sorry, already sold to anoymymous via PM".
There is only accountability here due to the public posting of domains as sold or bid on, with timestamps.
If somoene wanted to remain anoymous, I think they should create an account, never post, and use it only to bid by posting messages.
Otherwise, there is too much room for manipulation of all sides.
