I for one appreciate being privileged by an early offer on the LUG before the item is posted on eBay or Usenet. I do the same when I have something for sale... but sometimes having to wait until Fridays is a bit of a pain. Besides, for the people that don't want to see sale/wanted ads during the rest of the week... isn't there a way you can kill these messages by filtering the subject line?

It's great from the buyers perspective to know that for sale items will only be listed on one day (actually, closer to tow days given the LUG's global nature), but consider the seller's point of view. If I'm going to post a for sale item, it's because I've already decided to sell it elsewhere, or, more likely, decided to take it down to the local shop and trade it in on something else. I'd post it on the LUG just to pass it on to someone here who wanted it, not to sell it for a higher price. And, I wouldn't mind waiting a day or so before selling elsewhere or trading in. But, if I decide on a Saturday, I'm probably not going to wait a week to post it here just to see if someone wants it. What's the difference? Then again, I'm a trouble-maker for a living.Bryan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
