He is a very dear friend of mine. We spoke in great detail today in regards to this situation. It's not just about the auction, he really feels shunned and not wanted on the forum. While others do auctions, ( I will use no names because that is against policy) and gets many bids off their wants list, others put pins up for auction and get very little. It's very cliquey. I did an auction once and that was enough for me, I honored it regretfully. And would never do another. He collects the little mermaid and his pin is vey desirable. I think I saw perhaps one little mermaid bid. And like he said 800 views and 8 bids, but yet if one of the top members were to auction that pin off, they would have got loads of bids. He is aware that he will be now banned for this, but really does not care. He is not coming back. He has been hurt too many times and has had enough. On his auction page he apologized for the double post, wasn't a bump, he hurt his finger that he types with ( has stitches) and mistakenly hit post twice. The picture of his injury is on his facebook wall. It was a mistake and for that got an infraction even though he asked a mod to please delete the duplicate. I spoke to him and tried to get him to change his mind and stay, but his mind is made up. He feels shunned, unwelcomed and is very hurt . He rather leave than put up with the frustration and stress. I met him and his partner at the NJ event and he is genuinely a nice, kind, caring young man. We have plans to meet in October. I will miss him. It's sad how many members that we have loss because of feeling shunned.
Although this person felt left out, it is no reason not to abide by the rules.
I don't like the idea that someone feels hurt or not welcome, but rules are rules. They are there for a reason.
The auction should be honored. Simple as that!
You only get out of this place what you put in.

Whoever you are, I don't really care, that was ENTIRELY uncalled for. BOTTOM LINE: Don't like the auction rules, don't put up an auction. ESPECIALLY one done seemingly for the sole purpose to see how much "people hate you" Yeah it was that transparent.
