Matt"I personally, see nothing wrong with discussing valuation of items on ebay or other auctions. I know that I've sought the counsel of other experts for items that I'm less familiar with (such as T3s). Auctions are by their very nature public events. And the open discussion of these events is as reasonable to me as discussing whether a publicly traded stock/bond/commodity is fairly valued (on a discussion board for such items of course). "
There's a big difference between a private discussion on valuation and a public one which can influence others. You mention you've had board discussion on items such as T3s that ou were considering buying - was the discussion referring to a specific listing asking if it was a good price or in general with regard to the value of a T3? Again, big difference. That's the same reason why it's different then discussing a stock.
Had the question been what's an appropriate value for a T206 set without the specific reference I wouldn't question if it belongs.
