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,
