Yes, but there's more to it then that.  I think a repost of the official
(as official as usenet gets) charter is long overdue.

GROUP CHARTER
 
Name: comp.sys.amiga.marketplace
 
Moderated: No
 
Scope and Purpose:
 
        To discuss topics directly related to the buying and selling
        of Amiga hardware, software and peripherals.  Possible
        topics include:
 
        o       Vendors:
                What to expect from a dealer.
                Dealer recommendations.
 
        o       Discount programs, Educational or otherwise.
 
        o       Where to buy:
                Questions of the type "Who has the best price on 1Mx4
                SCRAMS?"
 
        o       For sale and want to buy posts for Amiga *specific*
                non-game items only.  More general posts should go to
                misc.forsale.computers or misc.forsale.misc.  Game  
                 postings should go to comp.sys.amiga.games
 
        o       Product availability
                "X is definitely out.  I called up dealer Y and they have 
                it in stock."
                "My dealer hasn't been able to get any Z in stock for two  
                months.  What's happening?"
      
        o       User discussion of updates.
                This is the place for users to discuss the nuts and bolts of
                updates.   For maximal exposure, announcements by vendors  
                should be posted to comp.sys.amiga.announce
 
                
        GENERAL RULE: Products discussed in comp.sys.amiga.market should    
        exist and be available for sale NOW.  This is not a futures group.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Read carefully.  Marketplace is more than just a .forsale group.
