Newsgroup: it.fan.stephen-king
Titolo: Marvel Bizarre: The Lawnmower Man...

Scanned around, intrigued by some of the talk of King this and King that...
have to say, I loved both Regulators and Desperation, but not why I'm
here....
Not sure if this is the forum for this but, a few years back, the wonderful
Stephen King and the amazing Walt Simonson created the definitive adaptation
of The Lawnmower Man (not like the movie, basically...).
Now, many of you probably already knew this... what you might not have known
is that I am auctioning a copy of it at e-bay...
Sorry if you feel this is an unfair commercial invasion of your web-time,
but frankly, I wouldn't be selling if I didn't need the cash... I'm a
starving hopeful writer, you see...
Anyway, if you're interested, check out the url... if not, damn me to
hell...

It is. Basically, commercial postings are not allowed in non-commercial
newsgroups.
I won't report this one, though. I got my own copy of this comic book on
eBay--although not through an advertisement, but searching eBay (the way it
should be done).

What NG does one post SK items for sale?

Technically, you shouldn't at all.

 one should be started.
There could be a website like that, and I'm sure various clubs (like on
Yahoo! or eGroups). The SKEMERs newsletter has a "shopper" newsletter too
once in a while.

once in a while.
I was wondering myself if there was enough interest for a "Swaplist"
page, which would link to people's individual lists (of pages of
things that were King-related) that they would be willing to sell or
trade (this would also include a "want list" of things they need).  
I don't think one should be subjected to subscribing to a high-traffic
mail list in order to get the occasional shopper letter.
People could also link their eBay "me" or "my auctions" pages.
Whatjer think?  This would get King fans in touch with other King fans
to directly barter merchandise.
By the way, there is NO MENTION in this ng's charter or FAQ about
*appropriately-tagged* eBay ads (or other ads for specifically King
merchandise) being unwelcome.  Paul says that "most" groups ban eBay
ads.  Not most of the groups I frequent, although they usually have
some rule as to *how* the ads are posted, and *how often*.  As I said
before, the eBay garage-saler is not in the same league at all as the
professional spammer who doesn't select an appropriate newsgroup.  It
would be hypocritical of us to ban something like that anyway,
considering how OT we can get. . .
and particularly considering how long this thread has gotten!

(who honestly thought the guy meant the video.  Proves I deleted his
post pretty much instantly, doesn't it?  I thought by saying "Marvel
Bizarre" he was saying it was bizarre, and he marveled at it ^_^  Am I
out of touch with the pulse of society, or what?)

Really, that gave me a good chuckle.
I have the comic book, it's fun. New text by SK, and, of course, a truthful
adaptation of the short story.

Ahem.
Now there's a post "Stephen King" by "S Simard"... Ivy, do you think *that*
was sneaky?
