Hmm.  Ok, I can see this, excepting that some of the offerings in .shopping
lately have been limited in quantity, and some of the offerings in .buy- • sell-
trade are very broad in scope.  Where does the line get drawn?

Simple:

*  Competition among buyers where bids/offers are used to solicit
  progressively higher bids/offers:
  --> .market.auction

*  Direct sale or trade of items between individuals, where some negotiation
  between buyer & seller or subjective judgment by seller may occur:
  --> .market.buy-sell-trade

*  Direct sale of items on first-come-first-serve basis, e.g. a store or an
  fully-objective (non-subjective) automated sale:
  --> .market.shopping

Ok.  Then the problem migrates back to community awareness (unless I'm still
confused <grin>).  I did a quick scan of all the offers to sell a set(or sets)
in .bst in September.  Out of 20 offers, 12 of them were (either stated or
implied - mostly implied) first come, first serve, at a fixed price.  The
other 8 were variations on either 'sale or trade' or 'best offer by' or 'e-
mail me'.

Are the 12 straight sale offers in the wrong place?
Would the above classification mean I should be posting my parts sale (first
come first serve, fixed prices) to .shopping?

Just trying to get this straight in my head,

James
