To reiterate what Ivoark, in more official terms:
It isnt illegal, and wont be, to try and sell something you see in your shop, before you buy it. Any buyer buying it should know that until the seller has confirmed they have the item it might disappear.
In my opinion, its probably a little foolish, espically with avatars when others can also see the same ones you can. But not punishable. Unless BR would go ahead and take your coin, and then not return it, without passing the gold its no issue. Maybe something that might leave a bad taste in peoples mouth as an inexperienced trader. But I fully trust that BR would return your coin if he took it and found this had occurred.
I too really dislike anon bids, So if anyone wishes have anon bidding and wants a neutral third party to "approve" anon bids, Im free to receive such PM's.
Fang, I get what you are trying to say, but its not helping and is actively inflaming these things.
Everyone else: If you have an issue with something here, can you make a new topic or contact judges, or me. All this infighting just gets everyone upset.
BR: Sorry about closing your topic, please do open a new one for further stuff.
