I HOPE I AM NOT OPENING A CAN OF WORMS HERE

I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS OF LATE THAT HAVE VIOLATED FORUM RULES ON CURRENT AUCTIONS AND RESULTED IN A 10 DAY SUSPENSION EVEN FOR FIRST TIME POSTERS. I REALIZE THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT TROUBLE FOR THE FORUM IN THIS AGE WHERE YOU NEED A GUN ON ONE HIP AND A LAWER ON THE OTHER (NO OFFENCE INTENDED).

MY CONCERN IS ( SAY I WANTED TO BUY A ITEM ON EBAY VERY BADLY AND IT COST A LOT OF MONEY BUT I JUST WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS A REAL ONE OR NOT. ) I WOULD WANT TO GET SOME INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE WITH ENOUGH EXPERIENCE TO GIVE ME GOOD JUDGEMENT ON THE ITEM BEFORE I BID. THE INFORMATION WOULD BE USELESS AFTER THE AUCTION ENDED SO WAITING TO POST IT THEN WOULD BE NON PRODUCTIVE.
IS IT LEGAL TO FIND A MEMBER WHO SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEGE ON THAT TYPE OF ITEM AND SENDING HIM OR HER A EMAIL ASKING THEIR OPINION. THAT IS WHAT I WOULD RECOMEND TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP IN SUCH A SITUATION HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD BE OK. WHAT THE MEMBER CHOSES TO TELL YOU IS OF COURSE UP TO THEM BUT HOPEFULLY THEY CAN HELP. IF YOU ARE JUST CURIOUS ABOUT A ITEM OR THINK THE OTHER MEMBERS MIGHT LIKE TO SEE IT, WAIT UNTIL THE AUCTION IS OVER BEFORE POSTING.
