Hi Jim,
Can you just clarify the the rules a bit. By 'live auction' I presume you mean an ongoing internet auction where bidding is in process. An auction that has not yet commenced e.g. a local event where I could go along take some photos of an item of interest then post it and ask opinions before the actual auction day, is that permissible, or what about a "Bonhams" auction where I can view items on the net, their photos, can I drag pictures off their site and ask opinions here before the that auction actually takes place? Just want to get things clear.
My Regards,
Norman.
