See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge comp.sys.sgi.marketplace is an unmoderated group for "for sale", "wanted to buy" and jobs offered/sought postings specific to Silicon Graphics computers. Commercial and/or continuing advertising, and postings about non-SGI-specific equipment, services and jobs, are not welcome. The Usenet Marketplace FAQ (at ftp://ftp.phoenix.net/pub/USERS/lildan/FAQ/ and http://www.phoenix.net/~lildan/FAQ/) discusses the misc.forsale.* and biz.marketplace.* newsgroups, and has plenty of good advice which applies equally well to comp.sys.sgi.marketplace. Here's some of the most important: - Like misc.forsale.*, comp.sys.sgi.marketplace is restricted to individual (one-time) transactions. - Use key words in your subject lines to clearly mark for sale ("FS", "FORSALE" or "FORSALE"), wanted ("WTB" or "WANTED") and jobs offered ("JOB") postings. - Limit your post's distribution to areas in which it will be of interest by putting a distribution keyword (e.g. "usa" for the United States) in your Distribution: header. - Cancel your post when it has accomplished its purpose to save yourself many wasted replies. - You're welcome to crosspost to both comp.sys.sgi.marketplace and the appropriate misc.forsale.* or misc.jobs.* group. However, be sure that you crosspost (specify the groups to which you're posting on the Newsgroups: line of a single post) rather than posting separately to each group. - Do NOT post or crosspost marketplace posts to comp.sys.sgi.hardware! There is not yet an info-iris-marketplace mailing list. User Contributions:Top Document: SGI misc Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Previous Document: -5- What are the comp.sys.sgi.* newsgroups?
