I have heard sellers say it protects the bidder privacy but don't buy that given the bidder name scramble. I have heard buyers say it is done to allow fake bids...

    Anyone at Myrtle Beach to give update on condition

    Anywhere there now to give us an update on how it is looking? Marriott says it is "running normally", but of course, I'm a skeptic. Are all buildings completely opened? How's the indoor pool look (since its on a low spot)? Thanks!
