It certainly belongs in the .market.* hierarchy as it's purely an aftermarket person(s)-to-person(s) trading thing. I'll toss out a few random ideas off the top of my head... .market.boxmixer .market.boxtrot .market.mailathon .market.mailmix .market.mailorama .market.mailswap .market.mailtrade .market.mixorama .market.swaporama .market.travelmix ...any of those getting close?

I can't help thinking that this sort of thing must already have a name. --Todd

(...) Can this project have a newsgroup? Can boxes that people send out have a serial number? Can we post to this hypothetical ng like subj= "123: Columbia MO" and text can indicate what ever I want? This could spawn off a whole sub-hobby. (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
