I agree with Jeff, but I think the 'for sale' traffic is far less than
2 or 3 a week.  Or maybe I unconciously skip over them, so their
frequency is not a memorable number.  At any rate, it has not been
bothersome to me, but we do have to be careful about misuse.

But those are "personal" for sales.  What about Gov't agencies or Gov't
contractors?  Does the reg prohibit, say, NASA advertising that it has
an excess VAX that can be picked up by any other Gov't agency for the
cost of packing and shipping (as is done by USnail with the Defense
Automation Resources Information Center's Excess Automation Equipment
BULLETIN)?
