    Hi everyone,
    For people who frequent various forums I’m curious how many have rules against posting live auctions?
    I know the policy here is to avoid prohibitions— but I’m curious what the policies are elsewhere.

    Thanks and best regards

    In Italy on "Orologi & Passioni" it's prohibited to post any link to sales sites.

    There's no prohibition on the Vintage and PW forum at watchuseek. It doesn't happen often on Rolex Forums, but I have seen a few links, so I don't think it's prohibited.

    Just to make sure it is understood. Any watch or part for sale here must include a reasonable buy it now price (Not 10 million dollars)

    I think the question is about posting links to live auctions on other sites.

    Yes, that is why I stated "Just to make sure it is understood"

    Auction links not allowed at TimeZone or Purists.

    No links at all allowed at Purists. TimeZone will allow links to sites where there no advertising, but this is so restrictive it might as well be a total ban.

    Does this apply to prototype/one-off watches? ::book::
