As you've noticed, we've separated the auctions into a different board from the sales to tidy things up also there was a similar topic created by Teddy before and we've used some of it in order to make this section much more cleaner and organized, the following templates are required for naming & topics. Topics created after this date that do not meet the template will be subject to closure. This is created to make things easier for all of us. Thanks.
