(...) As another consideration, .shopping is the proper newsgroup for FOTW messages. If my local toy store has 20 copies of a great old set and I buy them all, this would be the appropriate place to post that information. If my local toy store has (...)

And if you just throw them in a cardboard box, you can cram them into a decently small box. I still have 16 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) If the default is set to be that people posting should expect solicitations, I personally would have no trouble adding "I will not buy these for you." I have no problem saying that because there's a lot of work involved in this request! Not (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Some other considerations for posting in .shopping: - Many folks post when they find out about K-Mart etc. sales. 95% of the time, those sales are applicable for the whole US, and thus have broad appeal.

(...) I think just the opposite. The posts for informational purposes are the ones with the most general interest for people keeping a pulse on the market and wanting to shop most effectively.

Scenario B is the one that I had just assumed to be the case. I've posted information to the lugnet.loc.us.ga.atl group with stuff I've found (either on sale or rare stuff) before and haven't gotten many solicitations. The few I did, I just told (...)
