Personally, I think the standards have changed for auctions-- it used to be
(in pre-ebay pre-bricklink days) that people would hold auctions themselves
and bash newsgroups with repeated auction updates. I think this continuous
post beating is what encouraged auctions to be in their own area on Lugnet.
Now that 3rd party auction forums take care of the updates themselves, this
is *considerably* less of a problem.
I'd personally suggest a system where auction *annoucements* may go anywhere
sale posts might go, but auction *updates* are limited to .market.auction.
(Not that we see many of *those* anymore :)
$.02,

| (...) For the one auction a blue moon, I wouldn't worry about where the updates go. I'd much rather see a separate place for eBay auctions so that I can see the personally run auction when a blue moon occurs. Frank (22 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
