Nivard, not everyone is comfortable buying or selling on auction sites, and it's nice to have another way to sell without having to pay any fees. I recently adopted the long dormant GEN-MAT-UKI list and hope that there will be some traffic on the list. There has already been a little bit of buying and selling, as well as the announcement of some freebies.
