Hi

I would like to sell my couple month old Hard Card.

    "Quantum Plus Hard Card II XL 50 Mb"

This is extremely easy to install and good for your Hard Disk extra
stroadge. Nothing wrong with this. This did a good job for me. However,
this is too small for Windows NT. 
The reason why I would like to sell is to buy a bigger one like 200Mb.

I expect $150 + shipping ( or Best Offer ) Just for reference, the
street price is about $220.
Drop me a mail if you are interested in.

I think you can make a distinction pretty easily based on intent.

Proper posting: individual or company wants to sell items to get rid of them.

Improper commercial posting: individual or company wants to sell items so
that it can buy more of the same and sell them to the net.

In other words, selling with the intent to maintain an on-going business on
the net is, I think, a good definition of commercial posting. The name of
the company or person posting doesn't matter. Of course, nothing is simple ;>)

I dread the day when I have to filter through massive junk-mail mixed in with  
postings from individuals.
