Check the dates, though. This auction was live for ten straight days. Why would someone come in and suddenly offer $600, or even $6, for tickets that the seller would be legally bound to sell for two cents with a snipe bid? (It wasn't a reserve auction.)

You're correct about that - it is strange the way that auction happened. However, the tickets have been relisted - who knows, maybe this guy was kicking off bidders for some bizarre reason. It's hard for me to see this as evidence of a Dixie Chicks backlash though - check out the recently completed auctions of Dixie Chicks auctions on eBay:

Now if you could show a drop-off in prices since the time Natalie made her comments, you might have something!
