* IE: Open: Accepting bids.
* Waiting: Seller: It did not take any acceptable bids and it is waiting collection
* by the seller.
* Waiting: Buyer: A bid was taken and we are waiting for payment.
* Waiting: Buyer (lapsed): A bid was taken, but lapsed. There are no
* other bidders, so in the next cycle the seller will be mailed and
* status changed to Waiting: Seller.
* Waiting Creator Intervention: A lot has fallen over in some way,
* and needs a creator to fix it.
* Closed: The bid has been collected (by either buyer or seller),
* lots will stay in this status for 2 hours after collection.
* Then payment will be credited to the payment array and the lot will
* be deleted.
* Case code is used in reference to the store class.
