Yeah, what we really need are more college-beer-drinking debates
about economics and value and markets and "street" price.

I don't really know what "making things available" could mean except
more irrelevant discussion and accidental "whoops I meant that
to be my private bid" posts.

Posting "first taker gets it" messages only rewards those of us without
a life who can afford to read e-mail all day. Items disappear
in minutes this way.

There once was a mailing list operated by someone here for
auction and for-sale announcements - where did it go?
