1) you're not supposed to blatantly sell stuff in this newsgroup

2) you are auctioning it - suppose I'd be willing to go $50 but the
next-highest offer was only ten bucks. In effect I'd be wasting
39 bucks. Take it to eBay where it belongs.

Is that a specific rule for this newsgroup, or general understanding?

My personal rule for newsgroups is that the item should be on
topic for the group, reasonably priced, and sufficiently rare that
group readers might regret missing the auction if they didn't
see it.

Well, the usual way is to post a link to the auction site.
I suppose it is slightly cheaper for the seller (no eBay fees) here.
Also, the seller might want to give readers of the group priority.

Ok, well try this one then?

I found a box of 5" floppies in the closet.
The entire public domain library - and then some.
I can't read any of them - they won't fit in a 3-1/2" drive
and I don't have a 5-1/4" drive.

And no, I have no desire what so ever to deal with ebay.

Anybody interested?

What'cha got for trade?

What do you need.
I can probably read them on my Compu-Pro as it will access 360K 5 1/4
