·If you are after these, you have an eBay, Bidspotter, Saleroom search already in place. You do not wait for somebody giving a heads up.

·That is exactly why they are upset. They want to get these as cheaply as possible, so the more that know about it, the more competition will be there, and the more they will pay.

·Not something I will be bidding on, but I think it’s a bit tacky to post this, unless you are going to bid and you really feel that you need group feedback.

·It’s not a secret anyway if you type in the model it pops up so really not a big deal.

·Look I know people that have said they’d like one of these and shared it for that reason so they can have a go, looks like I’ve put noses out of joint that was not my intention, again sorry if I don’t care what you think.
🤨 I guess we can thank you for that warning. I will attempt to steer clear of any threads or posts of yours in the future.

I know different forums have different views on this, but I’m also of the opinion that live auctions shouldn’t be posted unless it’s by someone seeking advice. I don’t see the reasoning. Why not search the forums for someone with a WTB and contact them directly ? At least that way you’re steering it towards collectors rather than both collectors and dealers.

This is not the first time this has happened, and the same reaction from many of the same people is what comes around pretty much every time. Then the pile on starts unless the OP bows down and begs forgiveness. I guess the lesson for the OP is that no good deed goes unpunished - wonderful approach from the forum.

This forum is all about open and honest dialogue and education. Once censorship starts, there is no turning back. I'm sorry if it cuts into the margins of some of our professional dealer (or advanced collector) members, but IMO everyone should have an opportunity to bid if they want to.

·That's why I said potentially - that word was inserted just for this argument, that was seen coming kilometers away...still...
As far as I know, there's no hard rule here prohibiting it, so people berating the OP for doing something he thought would help people, is making this place look like it's full of vultures (maybe it is?). If there is a hard rule for it, then reporting the post would be the best way to stop it.
