First, I thought I'd post here as my auctions are SF related.
Second, I've already posted on the SF auctions board.
So, is it against the rules/accepted behaviour to post links to my own auctions here as well?
I ask as they're finishing tomorrow and, well, I'm greedy and want to drum up some more business (but don't want to get dawghoused or irritae people).
Any advice appreciated.

Etiquette for TMP says you should do all your listings in the Marketplace. A post in the general section that says "I have auctions in the Marketplace, go look" is acceptable (to me at least) due to the Marketplace being waaay down the page, but the specifics should stay in the Marketplace.

if your sneaky underhanded and devious you can ask people to either identify your figure, or judge your painting ability by directing them to your auctions. I of course have never..(wink)..done that.

If you're even more sneaky, underhanded and devious you can ask if it is ok to do, or not?

Ah, Goldwyrm, I didn'tspecify which of the many auctions on the Marketplace were mine, now did I?

Except my username will be on them. Damn.
Well, my lack of forethought may have came across as sneaky, devious and underhanded but it certainly wasn't meant that way. I'm just not quite sneaky enough.
In future, I'll stick to the Marketplace and leave the Machiavellian stuff to others.
Thanks everyone.

Either way, mission acomplished. Nice stuff but I keep my ebaying within the US postal system.

**btw-I really don't mind/care about your auction post here, I was just playing off TTW's funny post and forgot a smiley. grin

Also I think it's a bit more acceptible if you are a TMP supporting member.

Is it me, or is being sneaky, devious and underhanded a good foundation for someone who's first name is "Agent" wink?

No offence taken, Goldwyrm.
And SciFi Gamer, if you've seen The Matrix (the real one, not one of the sequels) you'll know who Agent Brown is and sneaky, devious and underhanded isn't really his style. Although I have to say I'm quite flattered that people would think I'm capable of this kind of skullduggeryevil grin.
