What is up with the hex gibberish when linking items?

it might be someone failing to make a make a macro with item links? You need to enter hex item codes for purple pull messages that a lot of people do and the spacing is pretty specific. IDK why they might want to try that with auctions though since they can just link the actual item. Only thing that comes to mind for me.

This could be it. Perhaps someone has a set of /auction macros with links because they have been selling the same set of things for a while, and they messed up their links because that part is complicated. /shrug
