What is the view of folks posting items for sale
on the list?
I am in favour of it, for what that may be worth - at least assuming
the item is on-topic, or at least topic-appropriate; "I have a 1992
Ford Mustang to sell" would, I think, be a bit much. :-)
The original charter of this list allowed for-sale and wanted adverts for
things on-topic on this list (classic computers, software, repair parts,
manuals, etc). I don't see why this should change.
I think that you should be sensible. Posting the same advert every day
(or even every wwek) is going to be frowned-on, even if it is on-topic.
But certainly a 1-off posting of the form 'I have a pile of PDP11 spares
available to anyone who will collect them' is going to be appreciated.
Do most readers of the list also frequent VCM (my
guess is a definite
maybe)?
That would be my own guess too. :-) I don't, but I suspect I am
exceptional in this respect.
I don't look at the VCM either.
