Jeremy, I have to agree with every point you made
perhaps a better way Andreas could have gone about it would be to post
to lugnet.marketplace that he has these deals and that if anyone wanted
to be notified by email in the future they should send their email
address to him
that puts the work onto Andreas' shoulders and off of everyones else's
...if you wanna sell something dont be lazy...
