<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My opinion is more so:<br>
<br>
You do not sell these items as your core business (i.e.
hardware/resources you are trying to offload) is not really a
'sales' pitch. You are selling them, but that isn't your business.<br>
If you are a hardware sales company trying to sell BRAND NEW
products and pitching the list (i.e. The NEW Cisco/Brocade/Juniper
routers are in, great specs, great deal at only blah blah blah)
then that is too sales-y.<br>
<br>
There is a grey area middle ground where some hardware
vendors/resellers may have some surplus/cheap stock and offer an
AusNOG exclusive deal. Some of these, I'd be OK with (I believe
Skeeve had one a while ago on some entry level Juniper kit, which
was actually really helpful for a lot of techs here).<br>

I think there is a huge difference between saying " hey, I hot a
/19 anyone interested ping me" since that's a scarce and much
sought after _network resource_ , which would be covered by the
list charter <br>
<br>
Messages like " hey, I got phones, servers, blah blah blah for
sale" - since they are a dime a dozen from ebay to PC shops to
networking brokers - are likely _not_ covered by list charter and
(bordering on spam) off topic.<br>
<br>
but thats just my opinion<br>

NOT that this is a list for selling items No!
--------------------------------------------
It sure has been that lately with all the prefix
selling. How can you tell sales droids they can't
sell on the list, but everyone else can? What's
next; all "IP brokers" come on the list and spam?
