[54reo]

And I for one am glad.

Thanks to mangus for getting that revenue back for the site!

Let the bashing begin!,

Im glad to see them back too, but its gonna make it hard not to discuss or ask questions about a listed or active auction when the pictures are right there.

No, it's not.

It is as simple as demonstrating some "self control".

No need for drama...

They obviously missed us. See what happens when you leave SS.

I started a thread on the same subject but just noticed you beat me by about 5 min . I saved the mods some hassle and deleted mine.

I kind of have mixed feelings on the adds. I know the site can use the money but I noticed last time they were here the trucks in the adds seem to bring a premium. When they were here last time I hated to see a truck I was watching show up on the ad.

we shall see. I have a question, are we not supposed to talk about anything listed on GL or just the auctions that are open for bids? Open for bids I can understand (kinda) but Ive seen alot of people asking about stuff thats coming up for auction but not open for bids yet. Ive been reprimaned for that, not from mods but from some one here that obviously has a lot of time and is well known on this site.

(to m16ty)Plus the people who like to make posts about stuff thats up, show up more and talk more. Good to see that we are getting revenue back from them though.

I never notice they was there and had to look twice to even notice what the post was about. Wayne

you can beat around the bush but do not say where it's where abouts are, what site it is from, or show any pictures that may or may not lead to where it is... I've had three bid items posted on here in the last month or so that weren't being bidded on until someone posts something about them... all too ironic. Best bet is to just keep it to yourself

 

[mangus580]

Advertised items are NO exception to the rule. We are NOT to talk about any Auctions that are active... no way, no shape, no form.

Real Simple.

Exactly!!

I just dont understand why its just GL and not ebay or other online auctions.

I understand that on GL it does drive the prices up but doesnt that do the same thing on ebay? nobody seems to get all pissy about items on there.

Like I said Ive learned my lesson and will just keep my mouth shut but Im saying with new members signing up every day and the GL add right there your gonna start seeing new guys asking about stuff all the time.

I agree... I didnt make the rule though...

They have to read the same rules you did....

 

[KsM715]

Mangus580, active as in open for bid? so if an Item is listed on GL but not open for bid yet its ok to ask "whats this for" or "does this fit".

 

[mangus580]

Active as in has not closed... so upcoming and open for bid.

If you need to ask questions about items... just post the pictures, and nothing about where it came from, where it is, or any thing that could elude to where it is.

 

[KsM715]

Understood, thank you

The way I read it is ALL auctions. While G/L and GSA names are used I think it was meant only as a example and even then some of their auction can be posted. Wayne

cant be all auctions. we have a forum dedicated to member and non-member ebay auctions. thats specifically states post stuff you find while surfing here

 

[papercu]

we have a forum dedicated to

Very unusual or interesting items may be shared in the appropriate forums. All my ebay auction are "Very unusual or interesting items" at least to me. We could take a poll for the other ebay sellers but I'll bet they would say the same thing about their's. Wayne
