Is it ok to post eBay auctions in this newsgroup? I have past issues of
gardening (OG, National Gardening and such) magazines that my father had
in his basement that I need to liquidate. Thanks in advance.

While your particular situation doesn't sound abusive to me, the charter for
rec.gardens.edible specifically forbids advertising, which means anyone who
does advertise something is likely to get the netcops complaining to their ISP.


quote from the charter

Advertising Policy:

Following standard Usenet guidelines, the newsgroup is not intended to
be used for commercial advertising, solicitation, or marketing of
products or services. Commercial unsolicited announcements WILL NOT
be welcome. Discussions of commercial products will be allowed in a
user context. In other words, if someone asks about a product someone
may answer them. These discussions must be directly relevant to the
newsgroup.
