Perhaps you failed to read the charter for lugnet.announce:

lugnet.announce
General-interest announcements to the community (breaking news about
products, releases, contests, events, and sites, etc.); also,
important LUGNET information (new features, services, scheduled
downtime, etc.); NOTE: the following are not appropriate: auction
announcements, new-user introductions, questions, and test-postings

Note the NOTE.  That announcement would have been just as effective to
the people who WANT to see auction/sale announcements in
lugnet.market.auction and it wouldn't disturb anyone who does NOT want
to see them but does want to see appropriate announcements in
lugnet.announce.
