These articles went to all corners of the word, U.S.A., Europe, Asia, etc.
In some cases the communication costs exceded the sales price. This is a
waste of money.

To these people and other people who want to post 'for sale' articles
I want to ask,

	1) set the Distribution to your target area; don't expect people
	   from New Zealand or Finland to respond
	2) don't post to comp.sys.mac or other general groups;
	   post to misc.forsale only. It is overcrowded already.
	3) Direct followups to misc.forsale

Thank you,
