Let the bidding frenzy begin......

I.e., "What do you guys think about this "so and so" listed in "X" Auction. Isn't this a tough card? It really looks like it is in good shape. What do you think is a fair price for it?"

That has no business on the Pre-War Card Forum page IMO.

I understand and agree (regarding "A") .

This quote by Leon seems to be saying that outing your own auction is frowned upon:

I'm not really following the logic there, unless he is saying the same thing you are saying. (advertise your own auctions with full disclosure and in the proper place on the forum)

I am saying that it is not ok to spam your own sales and/or auctions, or those of someone you are conspiring with who has a vested interest in an item, on the front page. There is a place for that in the BST sections. It is the 8th BST section from the top and says

Ebay/Vintage Card Auctions B/S/T

That is the place to spam things you have consigned to auction houses, ebay auctions, other peoples auctions or whatever. As I always say "there is no rule against outing auctions, per the easy rules, but I personally would prefer it not be done." No one will get in trouble for doing it besides having some folks not be happy with you.

I still think it's effing crazy to talk about an ongoing auction on the front page which you have an interest in. Just crazy. And I didn't have much back up on the issue when another board member did it recently..which is fine, it happens, but to me it's ludicrous. No smart person is going to post something they have an interest in so thousands of others can see if they have an interest too. I will look anyone square in the eyes and tell them that was a stupid thing to do.

Well that clears it up and you and Jeff are saying the same thing.

I was corn-fused by your post #13:
