"To Out" or "Not to Out"
What is the boards thought on outing an auction and not outing.
I have mixed feelings about it. It is a card(s) posted to the public for sale so obviously if someone wants to talk about it they should be able to by all means. That is unless I am bidding on it. So what say you?

Outing it for what? Fraud, alteration, etc?
Isn't that done here all the time?

I have no problem with auctions being outed. I feel members should refrain from making disparaging remarks about an item that's still open for bidding as there is a reasonably good chance that could be another member's consignment.

I've been around here a long time, well before the 2009 site change. Historically people do get bent out of shape when auctions are outed.
I think there's some times it's not frowned upon...like when there's something very special being auctioned that transcends the hobby, and makes for great discussions, like Heritage's upcoming PSA 9 52 Mantle, (which will already have tons of eyes on it)...and then also when there's a specific concern over something being real, in which case the poster is trying to warn fellow collectors of a possible fraud (like the Cobb/BL460). But, in the case of middle of the road (legitimate) items, most bidders are hoping they stay under the radar. Last edited by MVSNYC; 03-12-2018 at 01:06 PM. |

Oh...That kind of outing. My policy is, if I'm interested in the item, mums the word.

Haha...this!!!!! Like most topics on this board...there is no 1 answer. When should a post be allowed in the wrong section? Seems there are exceptions abound. Same as "outing" an auction.
