Chris, I agree,
It is one thing for a commercial dealer to list his parts for sale in here.
Especially if he lists them over and over. I have no problem with someone
trying to clean out their garage around here.
Isn't the point of this list to help each other out. I think offering some good
parts that some of us need, while making the room (and the money) to restore a
car is as valid a reason to post as any.
