The closest thing currently existing, I should add, is probably the  
csn.marketplace group.  It at least has no illusions of being non-commercial,  
so perhaps it might be a good place to post things with prices.

Now, we DID discuss this during the call for votes, but people decided they  
wanted new software announcements in csn.announce (and they KNEW they wouldn't  
have prices there).  So, either way involves a change in the charter of some  
newsgroup.  Just wanted to throw another fact into the fire,
