I've seen that happen more than once, and also seen where poor information
or down right fraudulent sales have been pointed out.
But I agree we need to be more mindful of what we are posting, as I said in the rendered bike
thread, the sellers reputation is spotless, he's a very well known person and the colors of the bike
and background do render the photo's somewhat surreal.

I don't think it's wrong/harmful to discuss an auction, or even question parts of it,
but to warn people that the person might be a fraud/cheat is a totally different story.

The problem with the private, off forum is how do we control who has access? it only ends
up being another forum devoted to bad auctions.
