Isn't this site for discussions about books rather than books we have for sale?

Yes, but it's an unmoderated group. There's no one filtering out
postings like this, though there are people (including me,
occasionally, but the honour of general bulldog goes elsewhere!) who
risk flaming and allsorts by sending offenders an e-mail informing
them of their error.

You are absolutely correct, but as John points out this is an unmoderated
group, and posts like this are a fairly routine matter. Others shoulder the
burden (or have the pleasure) of chastising the offenders, leading to
occasionally entertaining dust-ups. Repeat offenders can be kill-filed or
turned in to the spam-cops.
By the way, repeating the entire text of the "for sale" post in your reply
is generally frowned upon as well.

Yes. Was it explicitly stated that the books are for sale? Or were
we being told, for our own edification and enlightenment, that these
are rare art books?

Good point, and definitely worth giving the benefit of the doubt. We
had a lady who listed some books on this newsgroup in a similar way to
this a few months ago. She got terribly upset when she was jumped on
and it turned out there was a very interesting story behind it all.
She'd found these old books in her attic and one of them turned out to
be Hiroshige, 47 Views of Mount Fuji. She thought the pictures might
look nice framed, so she took it down to the local auction house and
asked them if they had any frames that would fit. They took one look
at it and needed smelling salts! It was actioned subsequently for some
16,000 pounds sterling (about $22,000).
She bought a computer with some of the money, found this newsgroup,
and was generally so delighted she just listed the other books she'd
found in the attic, prepared to give them anyone who wanted them (as
it happens they weren't of any particular value). She was so upset by
the reactions she got that she gave them to the local charity shop and
was, I think, on the verge of tossing the computer into the municipal
rubbish dump...

A local radio station had a bogus commercial on a humor program for
"Great Square Inches of Art." In response to a request for such
submissions, I lightly outlined a wave from Hokusai, on note paper
that I bought on our honeymoon in Japan. I explained that not for
anyone would I cut up a Hokusai. My wife vetoed the suggestion of a
foot from Christina's World.
