Hookpilot, welcome aboard.
Don't get bent out of shape by that rule, or getting told about it, you were not being spanked. One day when you have spent hours digging around and find a neat item going for a good price, then someone posts it here and the price triples (or more) within a couple of hours, you'll understand that rule. Happened to me a while back, I was watching on an unusual item on an obscure GS list, price was stable for days, then someone posted it here and within three hours it had gone from $3200 to over $10k. Coincidence?
So hang out, participate, and post as many pics as you can
after the bids close!
Cheers
