  You're totally right, there's nothing wrong with posting for sale.
**HOWEVER** we don't want forsale ads in the pc group for the same
reason we don't want Apple discussions, religion, or jobs wanted: There
is a group just for that, and people who are in the market for something
can read that group, or post in the wanted group. The whole idea of
having topical groups is to keep non-relevant stuff from wasting time.

  People who post condos forsale in the pc group deserve to get an IRS
audit!!
