What kind of auction advice?
The policy is pretty straightforward. Simply put, non-members cannot link in any way to any live listing of items for sale - we were getting too many visitors assuming that if they clicked on something anywhere on this board that it was something for sale by a VFG member. With so many lovely "friends", of course that wasn't true - In addition, we were getting an increasing number of posters who were only showing up to Spam with links to their listings/auctions/websites. We simply cannot police it all. So, it has to be all or nothing.
General questions about auctions - or pictures posted for questions are fine, though!
