well, even though I at times act as an "agent" to my store, Im hardly making any big money in the process- generally a buck a cd for my trouble. as for your idea about web pages, thats fine and dandy if one has axcess to a web page- I dont, and hardly see why just because of that I should not have the right to post for sale/trade lists. I really dont understand what the fuss is about! Your personal opinion is youd rather not see listings of music for sale- well use the damn *delete key*!!!- dont even read the message, since the subject makes it clear that its a listing. There are plenty of others on the lists that have purchased/traded with me, and are glad I post such listings! You may have your personal opinions, but the lists also have their own overall policy- reasonably open ones in this regard. I post a for sale/trade list typically once every two or so weeks- I hardly think this is shutting down your own personal information highway!

IMO, of course.

I repeat: If you think a price is high, DONT BUY IT! Or offer trade... ~~~~~ Again, the prices I charge for the used discs/vinyl are what they generally go for in my neck of the woods (KC, MO.)- Ill buy a 2cd used, for instance, at $15, and then a couple weeks later turn around and offer it for $14. If you in your own neck of the woods, or through your own efforts, can find it cheaper, than by all means do so- I aint stoppin you. But to get all pissy and offended is ridiculous, and a waste of everyones time. -Thad
