What is so sacrosanct >about only selling stuff on Friday anyway?It is pretty much a universal rule on camera Lists to restrict FS/WTB ads to a certain day. We inherited the Friday date from the Leica Users' Group. The IDCC uses the first and third Wednesdays of the month. And so forth. I do not believe that the Zeiss Ikon Collectors' Group has a given date for such ads but, then, I do not recall seeing an ad there of any sort for the past decade.
Several early camera lists devolved into buy-and-sell fora and then died as there was nothing else being posted there.
