The BIG sale...concerns about me being a lister...

[JShadzi at aol.com]

I agree with Ben..though I would hate to see tons of spam and "retail" offers being bombarded on the list, I think "good deals" and special offers, _from other listers_ is a great thing.

I use the list as a huge resource for sourcing parts, and like to think that any offering I have given to the list (Re: FS...) were special offers that benefitied the buyer (beyond what they would have been benefited sans the offer).

As we all know in the business world, good sourcing channels can often make or brake an effort, and I consider the list to be a very good channel for sourcing parts for my efforts, and would hate to see that change.  I think Dave's offer is good enough to be benificial to those who chose to click through to the page.  If not, a simple delete would end it right there.

IMHO,
Javad
(BTW- I don't see "Honda" parts or Audi parts, I see potential, you never know what will fit where  =)
