Ok ok ok wait wait stop. I *don't* think that SBA's should be allowed in
.buy-sell-trade. What I've always been trying to say is that an SBA is
mathematically equivalent to a plain old regular OBO sale. In other words,
SBA's that are conducted under the guise of an OBO sale are OK in .b-s-t,
and OBO sales that are conducted under the guise of an SBA are OK in
.auction. But SBA's *don't* belong in .b-s-t, and OBO's don't belong in
.auction.
Zat make more sense? :)
