Wouldn't it be better if there was a listing for auctions/sales being run on
e-bay and the like, and another where people can sell stuff themselves either
through a description of the items they are selling, or a link to their
web-page. eg commercial[e-bay] and private trading posts.
This would make it a lot easier to read through the auctions listings, and save
people from having to try and filter out all the e-bay auctions anouncements if
they don't wish to bid on them/have no intrest in them.
[As you may have guessed, I'm against e-bay auctions anouncements on this site,
as I believe that most of the postings are not from collectors, but from
'investors' who are only after money, and are using this site as a free
advertising agency, although I may be wrong.]
