Keith Belcher's auction at the blue gray

[Daev Larrazolo]

I have my plane ticket set to go to the blue gray. I suggest you guys go or by the catalog of the auction items. This is the finest catalog I've ever seen, much better than any other auctions catalog it is as thick as the BCCA roster. This will be a heck of a reference to write in the prices of the items that sell.

[keithker]

Uncle Daev.....should be a good auction......

[storzman]

how do you sign up to bid if absent from the B/G?

[keithker]

Eric.....see this auctionzip.com posting....

Good idea. Just ordered one.

[mattski323]

Hi Daev will you buy me something from the auction?

[chicagocans]

So, under the "Gentleman's Disagreement" gag order, we cannot mention or talk about any eBay listings. Meanwhile, this auction is being openly discussed and PROMOTED by Rusty Bunch Officers and members. Ironic? Inconsistent? Hypocritical? All the above?

[keithker]

Greg....I'm not sure how we could prevent a public auction that is being advertised by one of the Chapters sponsors and made aware as part of the Blue Grey show registration can be made off limits......Anybody that visits Dan Morean's Breweriana.com page would see all the information for this public event.......I'm not sure how that can be called Ironic? Inconsistent? Hypocritical? All the above?....it would be a little hard to hide it.......

I also think there is a world of difference between discussing an entire auction event vs. individual listings on Ebay. If people start talking about individual items in the auction, then there might be something to talk about.

Sure let me know what you need me to purchase you from the auction after I've spent all my money I'll pick you up something. I'm just trying to get the word out to you guys, some people might miss out on this opportunity I was not aware of the eBay items weren't allowed to be discussed on here it's been a while since I posted

The exact same thing could be said for "public" eBay listings on eBay's "public" website. However, we are expressly prohibited from mentioning or discussing THAT public information. Therein lies the hypocrisy and irony of your inconsistent stance.

[Mike S]

We can't discuss ebay auctions here anymore? When did that happen?

I would answer this for you but my opinion only goes to the highest bidder, so mum's for me

I think there is a difference between gentleman's agreement and expressly not be allowed to talk about it. I don't remember needing to vote on it. I was NOT a big fan of keeping quiet about some small towns auction that had brewerianna. In fact, if I knew about one right now I would post it. All that talk about big beer brotherhood is from days gone by. Sad !!

[potters66]

Slow down ....I just put my popcorn in the micro!!!!!!

Thanks Daev...

UH-OH. Looks like the KB auction has made its way to EBAY and can no longer be discussed here . . .

What a predicament!

[Daev Larrazolo]

Chicagocans looks like from Dan's post above you were wondering how to order a catalog. what has changed your mind now?

[chicagocans]

Nothing. That was a separate, unrelated question in the MEMBERS ONLY section. Similar to the Grenke auction, I'll probably wait for the catalog price to be reduced 50% or more (I got the Grenke catalog for FREE), or just view the online auction listings once they're posted. Thanks for caring.

So what made this an exception?

Myself, I don't really care either way, but if we are going to make an agreement.........

Greg that Rosalie auction discussion was exactly why i asked. I can't view the members only discussion so i guess i still don't get it.

[Chris E.]

There are no rules when it comes to Rosalies!

[keithker]

Political rhetoric is clearly defined to not be discussed in this Chapters forum and the previous comment was deleted.

NO ONE GETS IT. The "Gentleman's Disagreement" gag order is ridiculously stupid and unnecessary to begin with. Moreover, it has been applied (or not applied, as the case may be) in a totally haphazard and inconsistent manner. It's time to rescind this ill-advised rule and put an end to the confusion.

an arrangement or understanding which is based upon the trust of both or all parties, rather than being legally binding.

No such gag order exists. You want to post about an auction have at it, but a bunch of members might not like it too much.

[jinsequa]

The catalogs themselves are up for auction on ebay and people are bidding on them? I don't get it?

Glad we're back on topic now. LOL!!

Received my catalog yesterday. Beautifully done. Very high quality with some great information. Definitely some can and sign porn in this one.

Online is great and all, but sometimes you (I) just want to kick back and flip through some paper. Given the cost of daily life these days... well worth the $, IMHO.

Dear Chicagocans:

It's not a rule that has been made or can be rescinded. If it were, there would be no confusion.

The volunteers who run this chapter are happy to hear member input.

Since this auction was advertised on here as well as a dealers site, I have no idea why the eBay discussion is even remotely applicable. If something is advertised on multiple sites at multiple times and one them happens to be eBay that doesn't mean we can't discuss it. eBay gag/non-gag rule does not supersede or apply to everything on the Internet and therefore has absolutely no place here. This is a lot of complaining about nothing in my opinion.
