No you are not going to get kicked off the list if you insist upon continuimg to post Ebay listings, but you are not going to be very well liked either. Don't feel like we are attacking you here, Paul, we are just trying to give you, and others, a heads up on this.
Besides, anyone too dumb to be able to type in an Ebay search for "pentax" can't be helped anyway. ;)

Hi Bob,
are you a moderator? I take your point, but saw many postings where people were asking for Pentax gear so I thought I'd point out a few. This is ebay Germany mind you, not USA. And as for prices going up, so what? It's only fair to share opportunities I feel.

Paul,
This is the 5th or 6th time you have mentioned eBay auctions to the list. Many people on this list follow eBay closely for bargains on Pentax gear. In the past, they have become irritated by the posting of live auctions to the list.
If you are the seller, it is fine to mention your auction, but if not... Calling the attention of 400 Pentax enthusiasts to an interesting or cheap item is a certain way to get it's price bid-up and make bargains disappear. There is always somebody on the list who is willing and able to pay more than you.
Three points on the medical set you highlighted. 1) This is sold by TEAM-PHOTO. There is a separate thread running on this list about how they are a problem to deal with. 2) They have been listing this set for the past 3 months. I have personally seen it close without any bidders at least 4 other times. 3) Their price is way too high. This is a Pentax ringlight flash and a Pentax F or FA100/2.8 Macro. US$550 would be a good retail price. US$350 would be closer to a bargain.
Your enthuisam is great. You should spend some time at Boz's site as it is a virtual encyclopedia on Pentax K-Mount gear. Ask your questions about the gear, just don't bombard us with eBay links.
Regards, Bob S.
