Auctions are a form of buying and selling, too. I think the idea
behind the various .market groups is to try to keep the people who are
focused on making money away from .BST, leaving it more open to be non
commercial exchange place between hobbyists. But Brickbay shops
appear to be increasingly being handled more like business enterprises
rather than just people supporting their hobbies. I thought that the
reason that the .brickshops group was created was to free up .BST yet
again for the hobbyists.
