*You* are missing the point.  People who read this newsgroup are 
highly likely to be interested in the type of game that Nats is 
offering.  A *single* message advertising an eBay auction for a game 
of interest to the readers of this group does not constitute spam. 
It might be different if he were constantly inundating this newsgroup 
with off-topic ads, but he isn't.  Those posting objections to Nats' 
auction ads are wasting far more time and demanding far more attention 
than he ever has.

And considering the actual amount of off-topic ads appearing daily in 
the gaming newsgroups ("golds" anyone?), Nats' recent auction notices 
are rather a breath of fresh air!
