If i see it on ebay and think it could be rare (or a good deal), I will be posting it here and all of the people that do not like it can check the forum rule's. A different response to the negative comments may work better. Just sayin ... flooding BST with eBay auctions becomes an issue that the moderators/AFCA board will likely be forced to address, and that's likely exactly what those who are making the negative comments would like to have happen. Also, posting auctions en masse doesn't really seem to be what BST is for ... I can see sharing them ocassionally adding value (some other members agree), but flooding it just seems to be a sure way to reduce its value to members. I understand your response, and what you do is certainly your choice. My apologies for poking the hornet's nest and reviving the thread. Probably should have let this one go.

Please don't clutter up the BST forum with eBay auctions that are not yours. That causes members sale fan or other posts to sink out of sight. Anyone can easily find eBay fans auctions; just go to eBay and look in the fan category.

Looks like all the hand-wringing over his sharing it here was pointless. " There have been many scientific studies done to prove what we are all saying. One was done in sweden regarding real estate auctions over a sample of 512 auctions.

I would go to the trouble of posting the formulas derived by some of the brightest minds in the country but I doubt even that would be enough to change your opinion. You don't believe in global warming either I'm guessing.

For what it's worth as a new member(was guest for a little over a year before joining), I would agree that for more common models of course posting every Ebay listing gets much too cluttered. I check the BST more often than I check Ebay as they are usually out of my price range on Ebay, so I don't have a lot of skin in the game as far as higher or lower prices go there, I prefer local auctions. However, I also appreciate it when members who know more about the rarity of certain fans I'm still not even familiar with post something that stands out to them even if it isn't their own listing, I can usually safely assume it's worth looking at and if the price is decent enough for them to have posted and made a comment on this unfamiliar fan regarding the fairness or exaggeration of said price, I may bid or buy it now accordingly. For the record: I saw the BIN for the original fan in question, there was one when it was initially posted. BIN's of rare fans that more knowledgeable members don't want for themselves, seem fair to post here for all to judge for themselves. Basically, thank you for posting the fan - cool fan - still out of my price range even at $280 or whatever it went for ![]()

I'm not understanding why a 1+ year old thread about an eBay posting is being rekindled.

Old Sports, We all Have different opinions. Some like our fans restored, others prefer them not restored. We Will never agree on everything. Let's all Just get back to what we come Here for. The Love of Fans. The enjoyment of conversations about them. We should focus less on what separates us and more on what unites us. just my thoughts. Best regards to all.
