This is, of course, exactly the sort of phenomenon we're curious about. Does it have something to do with the story? (It's the only one we've published whose narrator is not only fictional, but a character from a graphic novel. Plus: Maybe readers are grossed out by the fact that the narrator claims to have licked each popsicle stick?) Or does the reluctance to bid have to do with the object itself? (It's the only "craft" object we've featured - the <a href="http://significantobjects.com/2009/07/22/tin-ark/" rel="nofollow">Tin Ark</a> was folk art - and it's an amateurish example of craft, at best.) Fascinating! Wonder what will happen over the weekend. Of course, my posting this comment might be a Hawthorne Effect-like example of a researcher inadvertently affecting the outcome of the experiment...

I can exactly remember that itchy feeling. Also the ending made me snort. I like this kid.
