Default Question for Group

NO.

You can post your ads ONLY to newsgroups clearly marked commercial.
That is, groups named something.something.forsale, .marketplace or
similar. ALL other newsgroups are NON-commercial. Including this one.


Henriette,
Not to be too picky, but that's not entirely true. You can post to a
great many newsgroups that are not marked as you mentioned with things to be
sold, the difference is that here in this group you'll end up angering the
very people you're selling to, and that's really not going to get you where
you want to go if you're a seller. As I haven't looked at this group's FAQ
in a long time (something I'm going to rectify now) I can't say that it is
or isn't forbidden in the FAQ. If it's not in the FAQ then technically he
could sell in this group without abusing netiquette.
