why dont we make a parts list?

The KISS principle should apply here: all the elements are in place now for someone to list any and all parts that they have for sale without having to devise some data base of parts and sellers.

Let's not make Dok's life any more complex: it would be nice to have this facility, but the effort does not seem to be justified by the potential number of parts, sellers and buyers. I don't think that we should consider doing this until justified by the volume of parts, and etc.

Simply list the part(s) with the proper nomenclature and the asking price in a single ad using the input form provided. I would suggest making a list in a spreadsheet or text processor if it is too long and unwieldy to deal with in the form editor itself, (and saving it separately, if desired), and then cutting and pasting the information into the "Post a Classified Ad" text window. The window will accept up to 300 words, and another ad could be run if the list exceeded this length.

The ad could even be revised or deleted and reposted as needed as the parts are sold.

Bill Mc donough, please list your parts now and don't wait for a better method. I am sure that you will find interested buyers here.

Best regards.
