Is this an eBay forum?

Would it be possible to get a sub-forum to the B/S/T forum for eBay listings (yours and not yours)? At least if it is titled "eBay" or something like that I can chose to ignore it if I want to.
I'm tired of opening 8 out of 10 threads lately only to see a link to some inane eBay auction or a load of crap someone is selling to the highest bidder. The content to white noise ratio as of late is getting worse.
Sorry, this forum is tuning into an eBay auction gossip column. Maybe it's just me...

My thoughts exactly.
I think it's probably going to happen. We're just hammering out some details.

I agree with all the above.An ebay thread would be great.A member can bring a good buy,his or not,to other members attn.

Maybe two ebay threads, one as a public service announcement for good deals, the other for public mockery.

I don't mind them, but lately they have been EVERY thread, announcing some new auction or other. eBay is a big part of the collector's market, but it's not everything vintage RC10s and R/C cars are all about.

If we all gang up, I think we can take Badillac.

For the ebay stuff I kind of think that unless it is something out of the ordinary like a fully loaded car labelled as a scrabble set, something super rare, or basically things which aren't under "RC10" on ebay it should be okay.
I am just getting super bored of people bringing ebay links up which are just labelled as RC10 or something similar (we are all on an RC10 forum we all search that), like we are all going to see it anyway so what's the point? When I see stuff like, here's a nice CE car and it's just some bog standard car which is listed correctly I just don't care.
I am also finding it annoying when n00bs point out members auctions here.
Oh and another thing n00bs we have a search function, please, please use it. It's getting like TC in here with the same questions over and over again.
Rant over.

Sort of how Doug didn't use it to see that we already had a thread about all this:

^ROFL!
Yeah I know we can all be guilty of not using it occasionally but it seems like people aren't trying at the moment.
