Auctions are not allowed on these forums. If you want an auction go to eBay or one of the other similar sites. We even incorporated a site in the market place to help with this
FOR SALE on eBay and external sites
The mods and admin do not have any advantage over the members other than seeing the moderated posts of new members before approving them and once approved it's a free for all with anyone fast enough to get in having the advantage.
If you want to get in first use

As has been said before it is a case of the "Quick and the dead" and if you are not here at the time a post is made or are unaware of a post it is no one's fault but your own.
The fact that the mods give so much of their free time to the forum does give them aslight advantage, in that they are often here at the time a new thread is posted or alerted to the post by email or iSpy. However any ordinary member can get exactly the same alerts as described above but the fact of the matter is.... If you're not here at the time you may miss out.
I can assure you that mods and admins are not here to take advantage of anyone or anything. They are here to keep the forums safe for the members and the general public and if, because of their continued vigilance, they happen to pick up the odd tool etc. good for them.... It just means that vigilance pays off.
I can also assure you all that any mod or admin who deliberately set out to take advantage of their position would be severely reprimanded or would not be a moderator.
Cheers - Neil
