I am definitely with Brad on this one. It is one thing to give or sell
something to a list member for their own use but something else to give or
sell to a dealer who is using the lists generosity to make a profit.
This is taking advantage of the lists good nature. Had bushwacker said the
heads were wanted for a commercial venture I may still provide the goods but
wouldn't feel as bad if I had to buy my own head back at a higher price a
couple of weeks later!

> I think the point is, I have given parts to several folks on the list,
purely because they were folks on the list. Now, what would have happened to
my generosity, if when I had given away my 2 speed wiper motors, next week,
I noticed someone that I had GIVEN it to, selling it on eBay. I would have
clammed up, and never given another thing away!

found a group of great folks, and hoped to get a bargain because we try and
help each other AVOID eBay's prices. I could go on, but you get my drift..

eBay would bring. Some of the listers have bought from me over eBay too! I
have even given stuff to listers who needed parts that I placed no real
value on...
