NOOOOOOO (especially NOOOOOOOOOOOOO on combining the auction adds in
with other adds). I really really would like to see announcements for
eBay and BrickLink (and any other high volume site) each in their own
group so that I can easily find the announcements of stuff available
which is not easily searchable (both eBay and BrickLink have nice search
engines so there is less need to see announcements of new stuff, also,
the volumes are so high).
I can see a value of a separate group for wanted adds, but I don't see
the value of separating offers to trade from offers to sell (how many
people really ONLY offer items for trade [ok, a few people offering sets
have done so, including myself]).
