Uhhh...  has anyone in an official position actually said the revised wording
has ceased to be a ToS violation ?

IMHO (and IANAL) any attempt to keep a lot active, but not purchaseable, runs
afoul of the ToS from two directions...

1) There is a question about whether you really have the item(s) to sell. After
all, you are trying to discourage anyone from purchasing the listed item.

2) If *could* be viewed as advertising and a potential path for fee-advoidance.

Having a non-purchaseable lot is a bad idea. Asking (and nicely at that) for an
officially sanctioned change (to solve the base problem) is a good idea.
Dragging Admin (and everyone else now it seems) thru the mud is not a good path
to solving the original problem.
