(...) Eeek! Then they're running an auction! (...) I wouldn't call it an "auction-ish" abuse; isn't it simply a human-nature-ish abuse of human-nature that happens to appear naturally in, among many other places, the dynamics of OBO sales as well as (...)

(...) Heh. Good luck trying to pin down an english word that means "trading goods for goods" that can't in some way be construed to invlove money. I can haggle over a price with you and call it bartering, after all. :D (...) I think these groups (...)

(...) Yeah. OK, how about .swap? Well, that's probably too close to what .jambalaya is about. Anyway, hmmm...maybe there doesn't even need to be a barter/swap/trade group. After all, how many posts have you ever seen where someone says they want to (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) Yeah. Hmm. I dunno. I was just making trouble, frankly I think .trade or .barter or even .swap would be fine. If you define the group as being specifically for trading LEGO for non-money (or non-money for non-money, if you feel ok about Lugnet (...)

(...) I'd vote for .swap. I have no problem with all systems which solicit several cash offers and pick the best offer as auctions. That could even be done without changing the newsgroup names. The things I would be in favor of for more (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) I don't think it's realistic to expect people to put OBO's in the .forsale.auction group. What OBO is supposed to mean is "I want $X but will sell it for less if nobody's willing to pay $X", not "I want $X but if you offer more than that, you (...)
