Unless AOL has newsgroups of its own that aren't part of the larger
Usenet, those groups are a part of Usenet. It's an old system of
newsgroup updating where using the NNTProtocol, newsgroup messages are
passed to and from news servers.

Auctions work well. I have tried to auction something starting around
10% my guesstimate at fair market value and gotten zero responses, then
dropped it to about 50% of FMV, started getting bids like crazy, and
ended up selling the items for substantially more than I had originally
hoped. This is often a good way to proceed, but you risk selling it for
the starting bid if bidding doesn't take off.

Well, then offer a straight sale and you either will or will not get
money quickly.
> maybe i can do both auction and sell for the same sets? lol.
There are auctions with a buyout condition. Such as "anyone willing to
pay 1.5 times the current bid can take it right now." Otherwise, you
should consider an offer to auction binding, and if you then remove the
item from bidding, you are IMO behaving unethically.
