Cliff, trust me when I tell you, every car club is full of tight *sses, not just our group here (remember that I belong to a number of different model-specific clubs). But is it really all about money or are we interested in helping each other here?
Like I said, Ebay is fine if there's no good takers for parts but most TD people know what is a fair price for our stuff. We don't really make that much money off of an intake mani or whatnot to make that a huge issue, do we? All I'm saying is ebay is more effort than a single post to a list or forum containing a quickie list of whatcha got. If that doesnt work then sure, ebay the things, and step it up. But why not help each other out here first? I'll be selling my perfect, already reground '88 crank (ready to go) on here, because I know I will get a fair price, and help a TD enthusiast out (same as was done for me with the '89 T2 crank I'm buying off an SDML member). So yeah when I get the car together, some things will go on $ale. Here. I'll take obo's, suggestions, whatever, but I want TD people to get the help they need first. -J Southern California Forced Induction 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo II 1986 Chrysler Laser Turbo 1990 Plymouth Laser Turbo 1991 Mitsu Eclispe GSX Turbo(for sale) 1990 VW Corrado G60 Supercharged 1985 Nissan 200SX Turbo 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo -----Original Message----- TD people are normally a tight fisted bunch that don't spend more than they need to, while there are some who are not this way it's pretty much they way things go. Ebay reaches people who are not on the mailing lists and might have a TD product in addition to their Road Runner, GTX, Red Express, late model car and such and find items on ebay. I have posted and sold items here and on other lists for years but sometimes Ebay will get you a better deal and sometimes not. All in all it's the sellers choice to list here or on ebay, their time, their parts and it's their choice to sell the best way for them and if ebay gets them what they want, so be it. As you stated, with things getting more scarce why limit yourself to the boards when ebay reaches people all over the world. My .02 worth also.

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I wanted to hear your opinions on Ebay and the SDML... Personally I prefer that SD people just list their stuff out, and first come first serve gets it at the listed price. SD'ers know what stuff is worth and what is a fair price for it... Making us fight each other over an item is kinda harsh... I think stuff should be offered here first, then the items that get no taker in a week's time should go on ebay (or preferably get relisted here). I just don't think it's very considerate to the SD community to offer these parts (which are quickly becoming more scarce) to the general community instead of offering it to the enthusiasts first pick.
