One problem is if you don't have any indication of quality many buyers will
by based upon price (what else do you have to compare?). The two biggest
suppliers in the US, Moss and Victoria British, have very nice catalogs with
exploded diagrams of the various components, and for the most part just a
parts number and a price. The Roadster Factory, that specializes in Triumph
and also does MGB, often offers a cheaper reproduction and a more expensive
part that is more correct, they are not perfect, but it is nice to have this
type of explanation and choice, however, it does make a comprehensive
catalog more cumbersome, and I am sure also makes the supplier have to carry
more overhead in the form of inventory, but as a customer it is very nice to
have a choice.
