I don't find much comparison in someone looking for a steal and someone deliberately fashioning an auction to bait an unassuming buyer.
To me, most steals are the market speaking to the true value of the hobby. In most cases, it only takes one or two bidders to drive an auction to the point that most would be unwilling to bid. If that is true, I find it to be a reflection of an unsustainable market value.
Creative advertisement on the other hand is intentional deception.
Steals are nothing more than a buyer paying what they're willing to pay and no other buyers finding it prudent to pay any higher.
