In lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, Frank Filz suggested the following newsgroups

I'd rather see a lugnet.marktet.DYA group. DYA is in a unique situation. It is
a commercial enterprise, and LEGO sales are only part of the business at DYA.
Also, DYA is actively posting advertising (in the form of limited-stock sales
announcements) to boost its business.

I think updates will always be judgement call issue. If there are only one or
two updates, it makes sense to post them as follow-ups, in the same group as the
original message.
And what about people who semi-regularly repost their b-s-t lists (or worse,
URLs pointing to their b-s-t lists)?

Heck, there should be a .auction.announce group, for any sort of auction
announcments, eBay or otherwise. But there may be enough interest specifically
for eBay that it warrants a group by itself.
