If I want to advertise a decal sheet that I'm selling on Ebay, is that going to piss anyone off? Is that considered spamming? I know people do it, but I don't want to be a jerk if it's considered spamming.
Please, put on your net-cop hat and give me some guidance. I don't like to set myself up to be flame bait. (Not accidentally, anyway). :)
If its something you think will be of genuine interest to the group members I don't see any problem with announcing it here. Of course if it's non-modelling related then you shouldn't but a decal sheet definately qualifies.
Out of politeness you usually put "FA" (For Auction) at the start of the header and include the item number to make it easy to find.
For-sale and for-auction ads of modeling-related stuff is allowed here.
A few people object to seeing auctions here, but they're in the minority, and their objections are not supported by the group's charter and FAQ.
Just make sure you put "[FA]" or "[eBay]" in the subject line along with a
1-line description of the item(s) being sold. You can use the body of the message to give slightly longer descriptions as well as the auction link.I'd also suggest that you place links to your listings in one post. Some folks have posted a single link per auction item, and after seeing multiple consecutive FA posts from the same person is rather annoying.
For example:
FA armor (plane, car, etc.) kits
instead of:
FA Tamiya M4 Sherman FA Tamiya M1 Abrams FA Tamiya Tiger I
