I must admit that wading through all the advertisements has been rather 
tiresome of late.   Surely you have a us.forsale or whatever for these things?
Our equivalent is aus.forsale and it's quite handy for advertising items 
for sale.  I doubt the best bargain in the world would be worth the
freight costs between cities in the US, let alone across the world.
As for the constitutional program, I'm afraid it holds no interest for me....
