See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Originally the newsgroup "misc.forsale", the Usenet Marketplace is now a collection of 38 worldwide newsgroups under the misc.forsale and biz.marketplace hierarchies. These groups provide a forum for individuals and companies to offer goods and services of widespread interest to a readership estimated to be in excess of 300,000. More specifically, the misc.forsale groups were created to promote individual-to-individual sales of items the seller doesn't need any more, as you might see at a garage sale. The moderated biz.marketplace groups, meanwhile, are specifically for continuing enterprises--companies, organizations, and entrepreneurs--who offer special opportunities to individuals and other businesses. The purpose of the Usenet Marketplace is to facilitate transactions. The Marketplace is *not* your local paper's classifieds, despite the similarities. Because of this, please keep in mind the potential interest of the readers and post ads for their benefit, not yours. After all, they are paying for _your_ advertisement. Finally, if you are *browsing* the Usenet Marketplace, you may want to check out both the misc.forsale group and its biz.marketplace equivalent. Even if you're looking for something used, it can often be found for less from commercial sources.
