Why not allow people to sell stuff? I don't see how it would complicate things, and it would mean a much broader range of things that people might bring...<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/28/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br> - All stuff free-to-good-home; selling stuff would get too<br>complicated<br> - Maybe some limit on how much you can bring (a box or two), just<br>to keep things sane<br><br>What do y'all think? Any input from the Secret Masters of Dorkbotsea?
