I agree that any list which involves selling MUST allow feedback,
which will help push out ripoff artists. Those who don't like
feedback can use delete.

Misunderstandings can and do happen, but decent folk will work it out
and make on-list apologies where appropriate.

Another rule on the Mac Swap list is that sellers must give prices
and city of location. Still many sellers don't post prices, and then
wonder why they have few inquiries. They often also give only
zipcodes, which tell nothing... who's going to bother trying to work
these out, or use some website somewhere to look it up? Not me!
