Two weeks ago I posted a Yashica rangefinder on CameraQuest's rangefinder discussion list. I had paid $263 on EBay; I tried to sell it to fellow list members for $185. When I had no takers after 1 week, I posted a classified on a more widely read site for $225 with whose readers I felt no conne

I tend to agree with Kent on this one, if, as has been said many times, this list is something of a community or a neighborhood comprised of people with similar interests. To offer an item to your friends first - at a price that's acceptable to you - seems like the thing to do, but that's just my
