At first, I thought a Sell-3d list was completely unnecessary.
However, I've thought of 2 good reasons for having it:

   1)   It would allow me to put Photo-3d into digest mode without
        missing the window on any "sell" offers.

   2)   It might attract some people who are only interested in
        buying or selling, and have avoided Photo-3d because of
        the (sometimes seemingly interminable) discussions of
        whether Dr. T has or hasn't contradicted himself, or who
        has which Belplasca or what.

That said, I think everyone on Photo-3d should be automatically
subscribed to Sell-3d, with the option unsubscribe.  After all,
Sell-3d is really a scion or cutting of Photo-3d, so adding people
automatically will not cause them to receive any extra e-mail.
