This raises an interesting question. Where can you announce BrickLink
auctions. lugnet.market.brickshops is the defacto place to announce
BrickLink sales, so it would appear that BrickLink auctions would be
allowed. On the other hand, the TOS are pretty clear that auction
announcements are only allowed in groups that explicitly allow auction
announcements in their charter (currently only lugnet.market.auction).
It's also not clear that lugnet.market.brickshops is for sale
announcements.
At some point the bullet needs to be bit and the rules on market posts
need to be clarified and posted.
In the meantime, I suggest:
- auction announcements, no matter where the auction is held (eBay,
BrickLink, Yahoo, by mail, etc.) be posted only in
lugnet.market.auctions
- announcements of private sales and trades be posted only in
lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, unless they are announcements of BrickLink
sales (but not auctions), in which case it seems acceptable to
cross-post to lugnet.market.brickshops (but not to cross-post to theme
groups).
- mention of sales at online and retail establishments that are large
enough that many people will be able to take advantage of the sale
should be posted to lugnet.market.shopping (your BrickLink shop might
qualify if you are offering enough copies of the sale item, otherwise it
probably doesn't qualify)
- the stated direction of Lugnet (but not yet reflected in updated TOS)
is to keep market related posts out of the rest of Lugnet.
There are certain circumstances where may be acceptable to post to a
lugnet.loc or lugnet.org group. Retail sales believed to be local
qualify, as do details of what you found in a specific store (like "I
just cleaned out the 5th Ave Target"). I believe organizations can
negotiate with the administrators to allow market activity in their
organization's group.
All of this should be taken as friendly suggestions from a concerned
citizen, not an official administrator.
