Though I'm not on the board, I agree with all the other responses -- this 
totally fits within the list's charter, and one of the biggest member 
benefits these days seems to be auctioning stuff off at the meetings, it 
seems totally reasonable that it be allowed (albeit tastefully) on the 
mailing list.  Certainly it could be abused (remember when Cichlidqueen 
kept spamming with her endless garage sales that nobody used?).  But it's 
certainly no worse (IMHO) than all the "me too" replies when Steev posts 
that a new Southern North Dakota Aquarium Society newsletter is available.

And Hiro's a good guy, really supports the club.  His fish-apartment is a 
thing of wonder!
