IMHO, computer hardware, related electronics and books with a Linux
relevance seem pretty (obviously) appropriate "For Sale" posts to this
list.

Any other FS posts should probably use another forum (after allowing that
"related electronics" can be a very loosely interpreted standard with
your average geek).

I concur that selling to local contacts with a shared interest can be a
nicer experience, but ebay and similar forums will reach a whole lot more
potential customers. I doubt an ALE specific FS list would have enough
audience to make it useful.
