... jump into a thread like this, and without any real warning in the title, announce that I just posted a bunch of eBay auctions yesterday?

I mean, some poor guy is clicking along, thinking it's an interesting thread on the merits of posting or banning eBay auction announcements, and BAM! there's somebody saying...

Please click on the link below. I have listed some great chips - brass snappers, Peppermill Hot August Nights, Ed's Topaz Nugget, Silver Smith Asian 2000, and an uncirculated chip from the Victorian Gambling Hall in Sparks shown below, some for rediculously low opening bids and NO RESERVE! Come on, bid! I have doggies to feed!!!

OK, I know what you're going to say - those chippers who peruse the board simply looking for quality eBay advertising are going to miss my important announcement. OK, you talked me into it. I'll go post it in a new thread, with a proper tag.
