Yes, but that's client logic and I always want to minimize that: the client
displays and renders, but all logic is on the server side. It's easier for
clients if they can just directly evaluate a game-state variable than having
to know the rules of the game, in this case that "an auction is available as
side-effect of a purchase opportunity".

But this would work as a workaround until I have a chance to have the proper
fix in the form of more generalization. :)
