I think as long as it doesn't constitute spam, for sale messages should
definitely be allowed. I'd hate for the discussion to simply turn into a
for sale listing, but I doubt that would ever happen. I would definitely
like to know if anyone out there has some excess of one thing that they'd
like to get rid of or trade for something else. After all, what better
place to advertise that you have a classic computer for sale or trade
than on this list? You're almost guaranteed to find a perfect
buyer/seller match. Again, as long as it isn't spammed every day. One
message announcing an item for sale/trade should suffice.
