outing auctions is ok in my book. I do it now and again on some of the forums I participate in. the days of thinking that noone else sees what you see on ebay are pretty much over. The last great find of mine was in 2007 when I found some T200's listed in a childrens clothing category. Noone else ever bid on them so I got them at a great price. I wouldn't have gotten bent out of shape had others "found" them, and I wouldn't have threatened anyone for ruining my fun had they "outed" the auction here. I know what my financial limits are as far as collecting goes and try to stay within them. For many on this board , money is no object and you buy whatever you want whenever you want, so I could see how some others might get upset about "outing".
