Garry,
I first read that line in a book John McGrath wrote, perhaps it's a popular saying.

John does own part of realestate.com.au....
As for Miket and selling privately....private sales are still not allowed to list on re.com.au. Considering re.com.au is funded significantly by agents I can't see that changing.
