However, it's probably relevant to point out that I'm a rabid opponent of
unsolicited advertising.  It's a pretty good way to guarantee that I'll never
buy what you're selling.

Yes, I do consider it unsolicited to get an e-mail that says 'hey you bought
from me before, I'm selling something else now' unless I was specifically
asked if it was OK when I bought the first time.

I would like to avoid that kind of bad feeling.  When my auction is over, I
send out one big email to the winners with the total winnings listed out.  If
I included a clause something like "I normally would add your email address
to my auction announcement list.  If you want to be kept off my list, please
let me know when you respond or when you pay." do you suppose that I would
avoid tweaking those of you who are particularly sensitive to these things?

It would in my case.  I appreciate that sort of consideration, and it tends to
nudge someone up a few notches in my brain.  Even better would be "If you want
to be on my list, please..." - but I appreciate that that would impact the
effectiveness of your mailing list.
