It is basic Usenet ettiquette to first search for answers (on the web, for faqs, in the archive) before asking, for this very reason. It is really hard to miss the answer in this case, if you try to look for them. People still asking such questions are violating important ettiquette, in fact, I would call *them* rude.

If you still ask a seller, he mught just point you to the sign. Especially, if it's a dumping price store who earns almost nothing from individual customers.
