I think Matt posted in the right place.  Matt has established his
proprietorship "The Vault" much like an online store (where everything is
first-come-first-serve and fixed-priced) and very little like a typical
person-to-person sale.  As long as he's comfortable posting to .shopping
instead of .buy-sell-trade, it's perfectly OK.

And note that .shopping group (not the .buy-sell-trade group) is, after all,
where real stores (online or otherwise) would post about sales or new items
(possibly also crossposted to a loc group for more focus).

Here are the charters...  "The Vault" really fits into both:

   lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade (group):
      Community trading post, items wanted, items for straight sale (no
      auctions), experiences, market analysis, etc.

   lugnet.market.shopping (group):
      Retail, mail-order, and online shopping: information, discussions,
      experiences, analysis; FOTW's (Find of the Week), sales, promotions,
      coupon offers; LEGO Shop-At-Home Service (phone/flyer specials,
      availability, etc.); liquidation outlets, second-hand stores, garage
      sale tips, etc.

(...) IMO this doesn't belong in lugnet.market.shopping. Please keep ads in buy-sell-trade. Todd: If I am incorrect, please tell me. If I'm right, please back me up. Thanks, Naji (27 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
