And see monitors of various sizes and vintages, listed as "24 ea". Do you win all the monitors if you win, or is it first come first serve for the 24 highest bidders?

I'm guessing it's the former, but it's not like any of the FAQs on the site are going to clue you in. Instead they tell you that their web guys don't know how to scrub input properly:

  Message received:

  "Your bid is not in the correct format"

  This means you have entered a dollar sign, or comma. 
  Here is an example: (Correct) 1000 (Incorrect) $1,000.00
I found another doc that may have the answer:

2. Items that have no tag number and are of identical kind and condition may be grouped on one SPMD-1A. Example (25 ea. chairs, wood w/arms).

Suggests that you are bidding on all items with one bid--if you win you get all of them.
