...Or even mention there is an auction going on...

Most of the time, here on Buck Forum, it goes unnoticed...but there is at least one fink in this group who doesn't report the rule infractions to Joe or Cougar; he goes right for one of the peckerheads down in GB&U, and warnings and even 24/48 hours bans get handed out...
If you feel you
have to announce an auction, don't
say it is an auction...ask if a certain price for a certain Buck knife is reasonable...even though you don't want it...and those here who are looking will listen up and search for it...
