Cleaning out the garage...

Roger,
Would you use this site as a forum to list those parts you'd like to sell? My '59 may be roadworthy, but it's never done.

Well, this is a difficult subject to discuss. Certainly I want my List acquaintances to benefit from my garage cleaning, but Ebay is useful as it can set the price of an item you are not able to price yourself.
It can also be argued that Ebay reaches more potential buyers than the SF site.
I will try to give both sites even chances...
meanwhile, if Dan would like to set up a link to Ebay (a la ForwardLook.net), there may be some value in that.
sorry if I am sounding like a jerk...it is very early am, and I am perhps not thinking clearly

Roger,

By all means! Post your parts to eBay. Then, alert folks in this venue (mailing list, too) that you're putting the parts up for sale, by including a link to your offering. Like this:

Tiffany Medallion
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... gory=34204

Before you copy in the link, hit the URL button, insert the link, and hit the URL button again. People can then go right from the forum to look at your offering.

I firmly believe that traffic begets traffic -- the more we post here, the more people will look, and the more they will post... And eventually these tools will really become useful to us owners of '59's.

Thanks!
Dan

Oh yeah -- I don't mind if you place your notice in announcements, but "For Sale" might be a better place for it.

Thanks!
Dan
