Enh, I don't mind at all the posting of the links to the pics;
I can see the side that is upset because it drives up the price, because these items are indeed sometimes rare and everyone likes a good deal....
but on the other hand, how can you know they exist without Ed combing Ebay looking for them?
I found a nice set of Walter Oesau pics for sale on a similar site - and I got a wedding picture of them in the group - apparently was a collection from his late mother - included a hand-made card from Walter to his mother on Mother's day, and some of his wonderfully indecipherable handwriting on the back of a card. (Which the gent was kind enough to send me a larger scan of, which, if permitted, I can post on another thread)
But it was out of my range, at nearly $2000. Blergh.
My point/opinion? Please, Ed, continue to post them. There are some real gems in there that perhaps one day I will be able to afford, and I'm terminally lazy in searching for them on EvilBay.
On other forums I belonged to, posting of items for sale was Verboten, unless there was a forum specifically for it. Perhaps that would be a solution?
