Seriously....what is the deal with saying "not mine" when pointing out auctions or other stuff for sale?

Does it offend people if someone lists their stuff for sale or points out their auctions?

Is it a disclaimer of some sort....?

Clue me in, people.

I do it because I don't want people assuming the auctions are mine and then PMing me with questions about the items.

Well, ok I guess, but they even do that on eBay auctions? When they can ask directly through eBay?

I do it simply so people know it is not my auction. Perhaps some would bid more and some might bid less. But I think it is important as not everone know everone elses ebay id.

Hehehe....well, ok, that explains why you would say "my auction"....

But not "not mine."

I saw other people do it, and I followed suit. I am such a sheep.

It makes sense to me to say that, though. I don't know why, it just feels right.

When people list their own auctions here I give the books and grading a little more credibility. If others do the same, I don't want them to buy thinking is it my book graded by me or that I am promoting the book at all.

I think of it as kind of a courtesy, as it stops anyone from having to ask “is that your auction”

THAT'S the key I was missing....

Since I don't sell currently, I hadn't considered that others might THINK an unlabeled auction would be mine if I linked it here.

Thank you!
