[Boatanchors] Selling stuff on this list - suggestion

Mon, 08 Mar 2004 14:39:53 +0000

I serve on a committee of our ARc that helps SK's estates get something like 
a reasonable
price for their estates and looks like I'm one of the guilty ones. Since I 
specialize in the BA
and surplus gear (others take care of items in their area of expertise) I 
have posted items
here. Only alternative to the Newsgroups is to go straight to eBay (I prefer 
not to) and from
what I gather from reading the mail, many of you are not feeling kindly 
towards that outfit.
I wasn't under the impression that this group was overly burdened with 
buy/sell ads anyway.
