If my memory serves me, that isn't quite a direct quote, unless possibly there was an amendation made to it later. I distinctly recall him giving a rough guideline of a proper sale list length (because I counted the lines of mine afterwards to make sure) of 25 lines and adding something about not posting the exact same items for sale repeatedly. Not to be contentious, but it's hard to get to "no sale lists, period" with qualifications like that. Can I get a witness? Anyone heard the new Matthew Thomas? jeff Chris.Hilker wrote: > >As long as people stick to the basic > >rules (which I believe Teep laid down) on sale lists, I really don't see a > >problem. > > He did lay them down and here they are: > > Subject: (idm) I REPEAT > > Auctions should be posted once to attract bidders, then be conducted in > private thereafter.
