Hmm.  I guess there are two alternatives, if this path were to be explored...

First, let's say that there were a special group just for privately-run
auctions (auctions run by private individuals, that is, without the help of
an external auction service such as eBay).  Would be a mis-post then to
announce a third-party-involved auction there?  (I would think so.)  How
about the reverse?  Would it be a mis-post to announce a non-third-party-
involved auction in the regular auction group?  (I would think so, but I'm
less sure of that.)

Alternatively, let's say that the special group were just for non-privately-
run auctions (that is, auctions involving a third-party service such as eBay).
Would it be a mis-post then to announce a third-party-involved auction in the
regular auction group?  (I would think so.)  How about the reverse?  Would it
be a mis-post to announce a non-third-party-involved auction in the third-
party-involved auction group?  (I would think so.)

How do other people feel about eBay auction announcements?
