I would also have bid, had I known about these. Unfortunately, I don't check
market.auction very regularly. Would it have been permissible (TOS-wise) to say
in .trains, "I just built these new custom switches. Also, I'll be auctioning
them off. For more info, see .market.auction." I suspect that while this may
skirt the letter of the law, I'm not the only one who would find such an auction
to be of general interest to the .trains board.
Also, if he relists the auction, is there a way he can mention it (legally) here
on .trains? I would love to know about it, but don't care to check
.market.auction for the next six weeks/months to see if the lot ever shows up.
And if he can't mention it here, couldn't the same argument be applied to the
Centerline track cleaner announcement, to prevent it from being listed anywhere
except .market?
There's not a lugnet.market.auction.trains board, is there? ;-)
