What about the people that are already bidding on it that are members of the board also and hoping to finally " Maybe " be able to pick something special up and actually get a decent deal on it ! After someone posts about it on the board where those items are collected by everyone on the board ,so much for that idea !!!! I understand if you have the item listed for sale here and there is no interest and you list it on an auction site then pointing everyone to your auction especially since we have to price our For Sale items here and you may have started your item at auction for a penny etc. ! I know personally ,I put a lot of time in searching guns for sale and when I was working ,I would get up an hour early every morning just to check the four or five sites that I frequent in search of guns before the crowd got out of bed and before I was tied up all day at work ! Last week I picked up on Gun Broker ,a super nice VHE 12 Gauge ,Very Late Remington era Parker built on the 1/2 Frame and I sure didn't steal it and even discussed how rare the 1/2 Frame guns are with the seller but every day the gun was on GB ,I kept checking our site and would even comment to my wife ,I wonder when this 1/2 Frame gun will be discussed on our Parker Site and still can't believe it wasn't ! I am not sour grapes and hadn't bid on this gun yet but I sure wish if folks don't own the gun or have an interest in its ending price that this would stop on our Board ! Hopefully I am not the only one that feels this way and maybe it won't ever stop but there are two sides to every story and the guy that's a member here and was already bidding ,I am sure feels beaten already ! Just My Opinion for what it's worth ! Thank You for reading !!!!

While I don’t disagree with you I don’t agree either . I used to get a little peeved of someone disclosed an auction item that intrested me . But it’s a free world so if someone wishes to make it known that’s their prerogative .
