"What you're talking and about and what I'm talking about are two
completely unrelated issues. "

Gee, no kidding? What do you think the original post about DOJ going
after realtors over the MLS database was about. The listings is the
only thing they have that anyone cares about. It's over the realtors
trade practices of controlling their MLS, which restricts free trade
and amounts to price fixing.

"What you're describing is the case everywhere in the US, but in most
places (including NJ, I believe) there are plenty of realtors who
would list your property for a small fixed fee in the MLS"

Show me one in NJ. No realtor here will do it for a small fixed fee.
Foxtons will do it for 3% And that is the lock that DOJ is trying to
crack.
