I posted a classified ad with pics of my AP900 non-GTO mount yesterday (10/11/26) and for some reason it has been removed. Can someone provide a reason why?
Thanks,
Tom

Because you were conducting an auction on the classifieds
In red letters is says

Price:
$

Price is required or place your ad in the AUCTIONS SECTION

I put $1000 in the ad, not to start an auction but to indicate my flexibility on the price. If that constitutes an auction then I guess I’m guilty. I just didn’t intend it that way.
