Simply don't use them? They cost you nothing. the investments in resources are paid for we are already able to handle three times the capacity we could a month ago and that will double this week.
My question is related to the other person in regards to whether they(Cryptsy points) will actually be used for something other than a promise of future auctions. Also if I do decide to sell them, will I get penalized again?
Yes you can expect the auctions to come and they will be retroactive. You can sell them at any time.
