  abstract =     "We show that certain the winning bids for certain ebaY
                 auctions obey Benford's Law. One implication of this is
                 that it is unlikely that these bids are subject to
                 collusion among bidders, or ``shilling'' on the part of
                 sellers. Parenthetically, we also show that numbers
                 from the naturally occurring Fibonacci and Lucas
                 sequences also obey Benford's Law.",
