Yep, I thought the guy didn’t know the real value of this, guessed it would sell minutes after I post it to one of you locos….

You'll probably want to buy a new set of leg armour, as those look like very early Spat greaves, but that aside... good buy dude! |

No problem, it's just part of my prime directives: serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law… and the fourth hidden directive: find good deals on eBay for the forum members!

Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law… and break the rules of the Aliens Legacy Forum by posting links to active auctions. And that's a really, really old set of armor. Probably one from like 2002 or so. |

It's a good rule. Imagine watching an item for 3 days waiting to close on it and then someone posts the link and a bidding war breaks out and you can no longer afford the item. |

Perhaps we need a sticky thread with the title "Do not post links to live auctions" on the Ready Line? It seems to be the one rule that gets overlooked (and that we go ape about) the most. The sticky thread "Forum Rules and Posting Guidelines" really hasn't prevented this sort of thing as... no one really takes the time to read them. 
Don't get me wrong- I'm glad Specopsdet1 got a set of armour with a working lamp for that great price. 
It's just that reminding everyone about the forum posting guidelines doesn't really help after the fact. |

I kind of mixed thoughts about the Ebay rule. In the last 2 weeks there were 2 Seiko pulsemeters: one semi accurate and the other accurate and new in box that sold for $150. On the same note someone posted spas 12 parts and I was all of sudden out bid:( I shouldnt complain because I have a Spas 12 but just hate to cut it up. I think the majority of the time we just want to pass along a good deal to a fellow marine but in the end it just shoots the price up. Somebody outbid me on a shoulder lamp......2 weeks later I got a complete working Matso lamp for $125. So alls fair in love and war. Christian |

When the armor does arrive, I would really love it if you posted the armor number from inside the chest. I'm just curious how old the suit really is. If you don't want to post it, you can PM or e-mail it to me. |

Sorry, didn't know, thought I was doing something good for the guys… Don't worry about it mate. Some people get well pissy in here if you do it even if it is with the best intentions. Next time mention it but don't post the link - after all the guideline only says ' DO NOT POST LINKS TO ACTIVE AUCTIONS THAT YOU ARE NOT THE OWNER OF'. Of course I could suggest that the forum guidelines are enforced based sunjectively on who's breaching them but then that would be a little cyncal now wouldn't it

I understand the rule because it can drive the price up , but this was a fixed price auction , no price to drive up ,so whats the problem ? |

It did have an opening bid price of $150 if I remember correctly (I could be wrong though as I only saw it once before you got it), with a Buy It Now for $300. This one was kind of on the fence- if someone had placed a bid of $150, the Buy It Now would have been gone, and the auction would have lasted the full duration of it's timeframe (7 days). In this hypothetical case, that someone who placed a bid for less than the Buy It Now, would have kissed his bid goodbye once the link was posted here. And Springer- you know very well that we still go nuts if someone merely mentions an active auction without posting a link. The SPAS cage on gunbroker was the last example. By the way the entire rule includes posting links to auctions that are scams as a warning are ok, and links to ebay "stores" which sell runs of items are ok too. I saw those two Pulsemeters and didn't place a bid on either of them as they had both gone beyond what I was willing to pay (especially the incorrect model that was a bit beat up). Nobody mentioned them here- I can only imagine how high they would have gone if they had been mentioned. Here's another example- that GRiDCASE1 that I recently won only had three bids. A member here told me afterward that he planned on bidding on it, but forgot about it. He would have outbid me so I got lucky with the price I got it for. Again I can only imagine how high it would have gone (well beyond what I could afford), if someone here had just mentioned "Hey there's a Gridcase on ebay right now".
The point of this rule (to me at least) is to protect the little guy who doesn't have money to burn. He/she finally finds a deal on an item (sometimes because it didn't include a keyword in the description or the keyword was spelled incorrectly- keeping it out of a common search). So like Joe said, they watch the auction for days (maybe having already place the highest bid they can afford, which isn't much), only to have their chances ruined by someone who alerts well over 350 potential bidders by posting it here. 
If every one of us here were millionares this wouldn't matter (and would probably make a lot of sellers happy ).
Another thing we talked about once was not bidding against fellow members of the board. Some people expressed a willingness to not bid on an auction in which they recongnized the ebay ID of a fellow Legacy member bidding on it. Again- I'm not sure I agree with that either as it is the point of having the "no live auctions link rule". As much as it might boil my blood being outbid by a fellow member, the bottom line is that All is Fair in Love and eBay War.
If you want to help- the best way is to do it quietly with a PM.
