Not at all. That you crossposted in .B-S-T is irrelevant (though that is THE appropriate place for that particular post).

   Perhaps if I tried to tone it down a bit and just mention the model is for sale near the end of the post?

Yeah, and that is what I meant about “clever posters”. One can announce an MOC and talk about it and whatnot, and at the end say, “and BTW, this beaut is for sale-- check out .B-S-T for details”, or something to that effect-- so innocuous that nobody would really mind. But when you state in your opening line, “built as a sale model” and not too far below that list “for sale” (bolded), and a price, it becomes too blatant and crosses the line.

   I rather not have the sale item cause trouble.

Thank you for your advice.

It’s not really that big of a deal, it’s just that I wanted to make a point of it so that others down the road cannot point to your post and say, “nobody said anything about that one” WRT solicitation posts outside of B-S-T.

I don’t know who died and appointed me admin for a day, but I think I shall now retire (to build:-)
