This is just a heads up, in gear for sale posts, new posts will feature "via this listing" instead of "via this auction".
If you search for old gear pics be sure to run two searches on the site, one with "listing" and one with "auction" for posts older than today.
The reasoning: when the site first launched in 2005, auctions were king. The messaging stuck to make searching for previous posts easier. Since then fixed price listings have taken over and posting via "this auction" when it's not an actual auction no longer feels right. Via this listing is more accurate as it can be either an auction listing or a fixed price listing. I wish I thought of this back in 2005, but again, back then they were auctions.
This post is just for regulars on the site who like searching for old pics. Use "auction" for posts prior to today, and use "listing" for newer posts.
The Auctions label, however, will remain for all posts featuring "via this auction" and "via this listing". Unfortunately labels aren't included in the site's search functionality.

You might have also noticed a new statement on top of all auction/listing posts:
"Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated."

Note: comments that insult people will be removed. Critique on gear is allowed. Do not ask if listings are still available. Click through auction links to check yourself. Posts and pics remain for historical purposes. To reduce spam, comments for posts older than one week are not displayed until approved (usually same day).
