Giles,

It's difficult to find a comfortable balance between, on the one hand,
list members not being informed of the availability of OM gear they
would probably find interesting and, on the other hand, excessive
commercialism on the list. The purpose of the list is to inform, not to
sell. 

IMHO, it would be best to do what I've seen some List members do
already: that is, to list items available for sale but without prices
and other details. Members who are interested can then inquire off
list, via private e-mail, to get the full details, such as condition of
items, prices, shipping, etc. That way we don't miss out on intersting
information and the List doesn't get turned into a catalog!

Ray
