Rick,
Just keep on listing these cars you find for sale. There are
always
dissenters in any group of people. I find it amusing to think about
buying one
of these cars for my next project and may do so someday. As long as the
subject
line of the e mail states that you found a car for sale, there is no
reason that
these people that are complaining can't find their "delete" key and use
it.
Takes a lot less time than sending you a message of complaint.

P.S. And why do they complain to you "off list"? They afraid of a
little
negative feedback on their message?
