I think it's great to sell furniture, golf carts, etc., via TOTV. I don't think anyone disputes that. We can all benefit from that type of ad. But I think that Brightspot was referring to the type of ads that offer item for a few dollars each ... items which are perhaps best sold in garage sales. And some posters do a separate ad for each small item which seems unnecessary. I think Kathie's suggestion of having a minimum dollar amount is a very good idea.

But in the whole scheme of things, it's no biggie. The ads can be ignored.
