Default Alternatives to A*mart

What are some of the alternative sites to A*mart?

I hadn't been on in a few months and when I tried to login I got a
message I was 'banned'. Asked why and was told that because I sell
non-astronomy related items on Ebay that I should have to be a
'sponsor' of A*mart...

Sorry, but I don't think it proper to blackmail people to pay for a
hobbyist site. 99% of my activity on A*mart was limited to chatting in
forums and looking at the classifieds, and only occassional
classifieds.

What else is out there besides this group? Any groups on Yahoo?

Thanks for any info...

Oh goody, another "I hate Herb" movie. These usually last a while, and you
have time to go through two or three bags of popcorn. More action than
Saturday night at the fights, and more fake than Friday night pro-wrestling.
And maybe we'll get a Matinee bonus on grammer! g

You can give www.astronomy-mall.com a try but the traffic there is minimal when
compared to Astromart.

Many folks contribute to Astromart who are not required to simply because they
want to support something that they find useful.

Astronomy Mall, run by Mark Wagner, a very good guy. No fees, no hassle,
but it is much smaller than Astromart, so far.

I'll give that site a try.

Concerning Mr. York's post... Indeed please visit my website
http://www.carolinaskies.com , you'll find items I've got, and you can
be a better judge than he apparently is. And if the old A*mart was
still up you would see that when I did list items I was pretty much
listing hobby related items and not what you see listed on my site.
BTW, I probably listed less than ten items for sale last year... big
whoop!

I suppose if you sell anything or work for a company that sells
anything you best pay A*mart money according to the morays of A*mart.

BTW, anyone notice Mr. York's quipiness? He wasn't decent enough to
write me a conscientious note and ask for explanation, no... just be
judge and jury and try the case in abscentia.

The execution of the letter of the law should never exceed the mercy
found in the spirit of the law, for if it does, the judgement of men
shall always fail in that execution.... PT
