I'm thinking that once a month might be a more practical compromise. I can see this list turning into a swap list if we're not careful, and, it also might start attracting con-artists if the volume of buys and sells went up.
Also, limiting things to personal sales might be helpful. I often see posts on the swap list of someone who obviously has a little bit of a Mac resale business on the side and they are quite annoying to say the least (I never see anything I want b/c these people seem to deal in bulk quantities of older equipment [and, I've done my damndest to eliminate old equipment <ahem> junk]).
