Can I have photos that belong to no event?

Question

Hi,
I love using iPhoto 09 to manage my pictures. I do a lot of buying and selling on craigslist and often take pictures of the items i am selling. When i import my pictures from my phone to iPhoto, it has to create an event for those pictures. Since i don't like having those "events" lying around, i often combine them into one single event that stores all of my "items for sale" pictures.
Here are two tasks i do very frequently
1) after i import new "items for sale" pictures, i need to drag and drop the new event to the old one. And the old one is usually buried among dozens of other real events. It's a pain to find it and do the drag and drop.
2) When i need to upload those "items for sale" pictures, i again need to find that special event in order to dig up the pics. This pain is reduced by creating a smart album to collect all pictures in the "items for sale" event.
Any idea how to manage the situation better? Ideally, I'd want to have an option not to assign event to those photos and just store them in a traditional "Album".

No - an event is just a fancy name for a folder and all photos much be in an event
i need to drag and drop the new event to the old one. And the old one is usually buried among dozens of other real events. It's a pain to find it and do the drag and drop
step one is to stop doing this - leave the photos in their own event
i again need to find that special event in order to dig up the pics
Step one will stop this problem
I would use albums (or keywords and smart albums) to find the photos
And I probably would use two libraries - one for personal folders and one for for sale photos - launch iPhoto while depressing the option key to create a new library and to switch between libraries
