I imagine most people are, like me, working on a 'first come, first served' basis.

I have thought this also from time to time (some people must have worked out an automated reply system) but I have noticed their names and I think other JTers notice their names also and get wary of them. We just have to be careful. You just get to know people after a while. I wouldn't like to think my items were to be sold on afterwards either. No one would. There is another excellent site if one wants to sell stuff.
