I've noticed the spring in the market a couple of times today. I didn't bother to try to buy it, but was surprised that it hadn't disappeared quickly. I don't think it would be possible to know if everyone sees the same pages without a direct comparison. It could be done via screen captures, or -- if you have more than one device -- with two accounts. (BlueStacks and other virtual devices are free, and generally easy to set up, for what it's worth.)

I wouldn't be surprised if there really are that many people who haven't bothered to change their screen name. I don't remember -- is there any kind of Goal for doing that? If not, well, it's not obvious how to find that setting to change it.

It makes sense to me that your own name and items wouldn't show up in your listings. The only reason I can think of for wanting to buy a thing from yourself would be to try to dodge the "fee" for de-listing it from the market.

For that matter, I'm a little surprised that a transaction in the market doesn't involve at least a nominal "fee" to the game, a handling charge. Buyer pays 100 coins, seller collects 98 coins, or something like that.
