Why do you think that for sale posts have little value to the list at
large?? I very much appreciate knowing what is available since Elecraft
no longer supports such a high percentage of their products, and I
appreciate knowing what the going prices for those items are. Why
should I have to go to multiple places elsewhere with much lower
membership to search for that information?
There a LOTS of posts made to the Elecraft reflector that don't interest
me in the least. A keypress to delete them takes but an instant and I
can sort though an entire day's posts in a matter of seconds ... literally.

Just an opinion, not trying to start another mail thread:
I would like the list owner to consider restricting forsale messages.
With the K4 being available and the availability of some K3 options, I
now see a flurry of messages from people offloading their kit, or
looking for something.
A discussion about a K3 that has a defect or a modification will
benefit future readers for years to come (yes, I do use the archives
which I think is a valuable part of the reflector).
The flurry of messages "K3 for sale ... K3 has been sold" lost their
value the moment the message is on the list. The person offloading
doesn't care when he switches to flex or whatever but damage to the
archives is forever.
If the reflector degrades to a forsale list then attendance will be
6999 and probably (much) lower.
