Is there really any need for all these posts? 

Why didn't you just put all the URL's in one post, rather than spewing all those?

Honestly.

And you wonder why the 'Ebay deal' topic is so long? It's because of actions like these! 

Best thing would be to modify your first post, and remove the rest. 

Well, since Ebay Auctions end after a short while, it would be indeed useful to delete obsolete Postings.

(after all, they become quite unuseful, and make the Thread excessively long)

Otherwise, I might have to start a "cleaning frenzy" one day, with all that obsolete Data (and thousands of dead Links)

PS.
The EDIT button really can be quite useful *g*

I will be nice too.   My post in that topic was off-topic, clearly,  I agree. However, it was in relation to Paul's post prior to mine.  AND at least, I didn't have the "courtesy" to post it 5 times!

I will go back and mark my topic as 'OFF-TOPIC' for the purpose.  

Well, it's everyone's right to show things that he found and deems interesting.

The only limitation I see, is person-specific Auction-Spoilers (e.g. "I know User xx still doesn't have that card, and will bid tons of money on this one for sure, everybody watch out!" )

Other than that, I only get the feeling that you are just afraid of other people noticing the Auctions you hoped to remain secretive (hoping for that "lucky deal" due to lack of participation from other collectors )

Well, just look for other Forums, special Auctions are almost always found and linked by others.

Believing you'd still have a chance of being the only one that knows, is completely unrealistic !

Forget that thought, for all interesting Items you (and everyone else) will always remain one amongst many.
If you want to win, you just have to put your wallet to where your level of interest is, quite easy

Heck, if you take a look around, some of the coolest Ebay deals are linked even inside completely unrelated non-3dfx Forums, sometimes even by News or Hardware Sites.

The Idea of "being the only one that knows" is just an illusion, in 99% of all cases.

...and remember :
There are no friends when it comes to EBay, it isn't called "EBay wars" around here for no reason
====================

This Forum and its Members, many being avid Collectors themself, have a very long tradition, so in case you never saw it :

I'm the daddy!

@ FalconFly

Why do i have to bid more, if i can get the item cheaper ?!  If an Ebay action is linked here, there are many users, that just bids for the action, that their names are listed in the action.. ( i know some , and they are not as  few as you thinkl!! )

Then the time we spending by checking the ebay is worthless, we have just to  wait, that VDX or other users do this for us, and so than you will bid  till you do not have any more cents, because eveybody knows the action and  MOST of them just bids for fun !

If you have so much money for bidding unrealisible prices, just because of fun bidders, than you can share an amount of your money with me, i have some things to buy

Anyway, I'm sure, you know,what i mean..

@ all

I don't still have changed my mind, everybody has to search for his own interest..

but the idea of "AFTERPOSTING THE EBAY ACTIONS " from janskjaer perfect !  This can be another option..

It is right,  that  i'm not  experienced and old as you in the  3dfx world and doing such a great job for archiving  very important files and documents for us 3dfx fans, but i haven't still expectet such a sentence filled with insulting words such, that my  naiv point of view or that i have no idea of sharing experiences...    This is an open forum, and everybody is free by posting his opinios, they shouldn't be blamed for this..

i don't understand this last sentence, no one will try such useless and poor think,  and everyone just will laugh to you..

I just want to say, that I'm also  members of some other collector forums, and such things like links posting  are always not welcome..
I'm not the only one who has this opinion, but i'm only the one, who is posting his ideas...

Yes indeed, you can bet money on that.

I will find them and say nothing, after all I want them for my collection too and I'd like to not attract "fun" bidders either.

Where all friends here... but when there is but a few seconds before the auction ends it's every man (or woman) for themselves as much as your personal budget allows.
