- On the contrary, I think the "market value" posts are the best thing
- about this form of classified ad, since I might be interested in
- buying (or selling!) something for which it would take me a lot of
- work to figure out what constitutes a "good deal".
-
- I agree with your point about the melodrama; perhaps we can encourage
- "market value" messages which are short and have low sarcasm content.
