Tat goes without saying: placing a machine in a want list is also an
engagement to purchase it. Otherwise the system would not work for too long.
There should be an update prior to each outing to make sure that the
machines are still wanted.
let's say I'm going to a hamfest next WE, I post the info on that mailing
list (for the ones that want to be part of the ring), then I get requests
and bring the list of wanted with me. If i find one of the machines I buy it
and let the party interested know about it. If I get an I don't want it
anymore response I don't thinl I'll be looking for more of the guy's stuff.
And I'll make sure that everybody knows about it.
