TBH, varno's wheelsets are quite offordable and I do agree with hugo7 that plenty of Wanted ads are placed for wheelsets and thus he is just filling a void in the market and at the same time helping out forum members.
As for the eBay rule, the important thing is even if he sells on eBay, correct me if I'm wrong, I dont think he has ever posted a link here, and he seems well stocked and it is unfair if he just rely on the forum to sell his wheels. Furthermore, he is not just hawking a single set of wheels, he has plenty to sell and thus the question of double-selling a single item is also out of the question ;)
At times discretion and "substance over form" should be given due consideration before just throwing the book at someone. That said, I feel the rule is in place to prevent one-off sellers or those who are trying to use the forum to gain more bids on the items they are hawking on the bay and not foremost for the benefit of the forum. Thus refering to point 1. varno has been around for quite some time, and as of now, no shoddy dealings have surfaced from those who purchased his wheels and he is indeed helping out this forum fill the gap for wheels :) Fair enough for me as a keeper.
