Subject: 4. Which newsgroup should I post to?

  Now that you've read this far, you're ready to figure out which
    group to post to.  If you've looked at the list lately, you
    may find it rather daunting, as you have 38 groups to choose
    from within the Usenet Marketplace.  Below is an attempt to
    explain each group in more detail with non-inclusive lists
    of examples; first are the non-commercial misc.forsale
    groups, followed by the commercial biz.marketplace groups.
    Please post your article to only one appropriate group.

  If you have a diverse lot of items, group them appropriately
    and make several posts--one to each group involved.  In most
    cases, there should not be any reason to post a given item to
    more than one group.  If you still must, please write
    separate articles, and specifically tailor each one to its
    destination group.
