I'm surprised this auction was outed also. Is it okay to publish any auction as long as it's not your own?

Checked his feedback, this seller has sold some nice stuff. Auction looks interesting, thanks for letting us know!

And that is why you do not "out" auctions.

This wasn't just a regular m101-6. If it says Babe Ruth in the title it WILL be found.

Can anything really be considered "outed" if it's on ebay? With all the ebay talk on this board I can't believe anything of any significance could get by the members here. If someone wants to bring an interesting item to the board's attention it should be certainly allowed and even applauded so everyone has a fair chance at it.
Just my opinion.
PS - It's better than all the name calling and sniping at each other.

Yes it can be outed. High price items always sneak past on ebay. I won a auction last week for alot less money then the items were worth.

It is not ok to out anything you have a vested interest in, or doing it for a friend who has a vested interest... That would be against the rules. No, it is not against the rules to out other ongoing auctions, in general. It is a very debatable issue, and I would prefer they not be outed myself, but there can't be a rule against it for various reasons. We have had at least 3-5 good debates about outing ongoing auctions, and we can always have another, but I can't imagine that rule changing.

Are you saying that people arent allowed to advertise their own ebay auctions here if they are doing so in order to get a better price?

So because this guy is selling stuff "off of ebay" for his own personal gain it's not against the rules? Or is my definition of "vested interest" completely skewed?

Why is this JUST NOW coming up? Because this thread is about a high end card? I see people on here ALL THE TIME linking to their own ebay auctions.

Hell there is a section on the main page for linking to ebay auctions in general?

Here is over 100 pages of people "outing" their own ebay auctions because they obviously have a vested interest in how much the item sells for.... and also tons of links where people are pointing out other peoples auctions.

Anybody ever see this before?

Ebay/Vintage Card Auctions B/S/T
All posts in this section should involve any ads/notifications for Ebay auctions, Heritage, Huggins & Scott, Lelands, Grandslambids.com, shows etc..

I am not directing this at you in particular Leon .... it is more for everyone else who is complaining ..... yet again.

Now I'll climb back in my hole for a couple days and wait to see if the storm ever passes over this site...........

People aren't allowed to advertise their eBay auctions in the main forum because otherwise the whole front page might be flooded with people just here to pimp eBay auctions... Not hard to understand, right? If the seller wanted to advertise the card they can do so in the BST eBay forum. Actually, this could have been "outed" in that forum too, but it would still piss some people off. Like Leon said, there is no rule against outing, it's just irritating (to some).

Also, it's REALLY ANNOYING when people type in ALL CAPS even if it's just TWO WORDS it's still really annoying, right?

So it's not annoying? And what is so condescending about the first part? I'm a bottom half collector, I don't think I'm allowed to be condescending, I think I came off wrong because I forgot a smiley sorry about that.
