That would be my preference as well. A "ccebay
at classiccmp.org" list.
I think we all know that wouldn't work, for a number of reasons.
Or at least in an indication in the subject line
"ebay: [topic]" so
they can get filtered out.
This, however, I can definitely see as a good move. I will add such a tag to
any eBay notification posts I make, and I encourage everyone else who posts
such to do the same.

Any given posting to a mailing list is sent by one
person and read by
many. If there is a small effort to be made, it makes more sense for
the sender to make it once than all the interested recipients to have
to duplicate the effort.
Excellent point.
And the "eBay:" tag idea follow this principle too, I will note... So let's
remember to add that tag, everyone!

IMHO there have been some really fun conversations spun off of such posts,
whether of the nature of "What the h*ll is that?", or "What moron would
charge that much for that?", or even "Ah, I remember...." I agree that
the
volume is low enough and the entertainment value high enough to leave
things be. -- Ian
