Bassassin Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It's allegedly to stop 'em signing up to plug their auctions on the Ebay board. I fail to grasp how that's manifestly different to them plugging the same auctions on the For Sale boards, which I presume they're at liberty to do. Jon.

absolutpepper Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think its a good idea. I occasionally plonk stuff on ebay but I dont usually for an advert for it on here, I never really saw it as the intention of this section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not noticed too many auction plugs, tbh, but then I do tend to live in the JapCrap & 'Faker topics. On the whole it's been a lot quieter here since rattles started getting flung over the suggestion that posting links to interesting stuff you'd seen increases competition & stops folk getting bargains. Dunno if that was ever resolved. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact more to the point I've noticed it more in the FS section than anything... while this bit here seems to be a forgotten corner of the site frequented mainly by the same old faces.

JayX Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm now not sure whether I should've posted my Trace V6 ad in For Sale or here now... as Bassassin said, it was the 'post your links here' tagline on the main forum view that made me presume this was the right place for it.

algmusic Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I this is a good start, I'd say 100 posts.. if you talk alot like me.. that's easy :-) I'd like to see a simular thing for the normal ads, but maybe I'm turning into an old grumpy man and have too much love for BC ;-P. I like the BC buying selling confidence. I need a life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Theoretically sound but perhaps a little tricky to police. There again, I'm not the polis! Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
