Welcome to comp.sys.amiga.marketplace!
The new newsgroups have arrived! Use them in good health!
Please try to get your conversations sorted out into the new groups
as quickly as possible, by editing the Newsgroups: and Followups-To:
lines on everything you post for the next few weeks. After that,
things should take care of themselves.
This group got a real charter written for it.
GROUP CHARTER for comp.sys.amiga.marketplace
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. Discussion of both
commerical and freely distributable products are welcome.
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 Personal for sale and want to buy posts for Amiga
*specific* items only. More general posts should go to
misc.forsale.computers or misc.forsale.misc.
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.marketplace
should exist and be available for sale NOW. This is not a futures
group. It is also not a commercial advertising medium.
