I'm not so sure I agree with that, after thinking about this post for a while I started thinking about a Pentax K 28mm F3.5 for $22.50 'cause it was mis-listed as an SLR, a like new *ist body for $105.00 in the wrong catagory and several pieces found by creatively trying lots of different mis-spellings (or alternate spellings such as ZX5N instead of with the hyphen) for items. I think deals can still be unearthed by those who spend A LOT of time looking. I know I'd be miffed if one of those hard found listings showed up here for someone to grab out from under me without having worked for it. (Just my HO) Now the question: Nowhere can I find any guidelines covering this (eBay Listings), or for FS items, or what's allowed for OT subjects, or for that matter what "AW" stands for! I am a newcomer to this list, but from experience I KNOW there are rules, and do my best to figure 'em out. But I am not going to lurk for 5 years just to do so, I'd rather be hollered at than not participate. SOOOOO hows about a little FAQ with dos and don'ts and definitions so us newbies don't have to rub quite so much fur the wrong way? There used to be one when the list was at Pentax but it didn't cover some of the above topics, and now it appears to be gone altogether. I am more than willing to follow the rules, IF I know what they are! (Kinda reminds me of my boss, "I know you don't know how to do this, but do it anyway. And do it RIGHT!")
