Passing on "Hot Deals" on other sites?

aznav · January 24th, 2008, 07:29 PM

I'm guessing this has been discussed but can't find it. Occasionally I find a ripping deal for a gun or a holster on another forum or from GunBroker, etc.
Are we allowed to share that link in a thread? If so, would it be appropriate to have a blog site just for that? i.e. "Hot Deals" with a disclaimer, of course. In the last couple days I've seen several great deals on Milt Sparks and Alessi holsters as much as half off and ready for delivery but was reticent to post the link as I've not seen that type of "advertising" before.
Tx!

ps. I am wondering if this encompasses Rule #9 or if that is to prevent blatant advertising?

Normally when we run across "auction" ads, we remove them. They are really too short lived to be of value. Trying to meet the effort required to clean up after expired ads would be a load to add to our staff. If it's your ad for an item you are able to list it here as well, but it needs to stand on it's own and not just reference a current ad running on another site....

Best to fully describe the package and get opinions from there. Pics and bids don't really help. The members here are incredibly knowledgeable.
