[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 1774390, member: 44357"]To any moderators: I understand that you don't want spam from external websites, but sixbid is merely an auction aggregator with no interest in the sales themselves. You don't have to use it, but many members here probably don't receive all of the auction catalogs from each international house. I think the average member would learn a great deal from watching the auctions more closely and having a bit more of a stake in the game by trying to guess realized prices. The discussions which would occur about coins that are outside of the usual dollar value range that the average poster participates in would be highly educational and can further improve participation in the hobby. It isn't a giveaway contest, just a learning exercise and the "competition" element is in place just to focus posters and as a friendly scoring exercise to see who is most accurate with their research. If this is still somehow against the rules, then that's fine, but I personally don't understand how this could be interpreted as a negative discussion.[/QUOTE]
