Plus $78 shipping. They've only had two sales out of 40 odd items, so their stock could be hanging around for some time

In theory it contravenes our gentlemen's agreement, being a link to a live auction. On the other hand, since no one in their right mind would pay that kind of money for such junk, I don't think anyone will be objecting. However, this should not be seen as a precedent for posting live auction links.

Just where do these people get their info from. I've never seen any ad that he quotes but then they are vague references - 2 bucks each at tops.

In Ian's defence, he is relatively new here and would not be fully aware of what can and cannot be posted regards Ebaying and at least he did question his posting just in case it was wrong, good thinking Ian, and as "Idris" points out, nobody in their right mind would pay for those, I don't think any harm has been done.

You see plenty of listings like this. Chancers trying to catch a mug. There was a plated Y12 Thomas Flyabout listed some time ago as gold plated with a £1000 price tag. It was a tatty tobacco stained chrome one!

Thanks Idris - I'll remember that for the future. I wasn't certain (as Kevin noted) and since I've been the subject of a ban from THAT OTHER SITE for speaking up and pointing things out, I put the rider in so I would be informed for future reference... BTW what IS the accepted pointer - just the auction number I assume?

[hat IS the accepted pointer - just the auction number I assume?

An auction number is fine, but better (more convenient for all concerned) is a hyperlink. However, if you are pointing out a detail for discussion, please post at least one of the photographs so that when the listing expires and is deleted, the topic remains meaningful.

How does one do a hyerlink in the required format? I can see how to do a URL or an IMG...

Easy.

In ebay search for an item, when the listings are displayed place your arrow over a listing, right click on your mouse, now select "Copy link address" now go back to the forum and click post a reply, place your cursor in the white reply box and right click your mouse, now select Paste and your link will appear. Now when you submit your reply your link will be embedded in the posted reply for all to click. This will take you straight to the ebay listing for as long as the listing remains live. As Hugh suggested earlier to avoid losing the image the best solution is to save it to your computer then edit it before uploading it as an attachment. Hope this helps.
