Just to be clear, I didn't have any problem with Dave's post. My only
worry is that I've got more than one thing to sell, and wasn't sure if
this would be perceived as a commercial posting.

I assumed as much. I'm not making a profit since most of it is stuff I
bought new a few years ago. It would be a terrible business plan.

Charles: Is there a cutoff or minimum requirement? Any particular
parts in demand?
