[s-cars] More S6 ebay items.../No more!

[R. Mair]

I've been a member of q-list and S-cars for quite some time, usually as a lurker if nothing else. I fully respect the wishes of the creator/moderators in how they want to list to be run. However, I'm personally not fond of the no-Ebay listings within the forums. If I have an audi car or parts I wish to unload, I always post it in the classifieds first. In most cases I haven't sold too much that way, but now and again I do find an enthusiast who makes a purchase. However, after several tries, or several weeks of inactivity, the parts end up on ebay where they almost always are sold, usually for a price that is fair to all. I'd love to post the ebay link here to perhaps give everyone a fair shot (esp. after posting it in the classifieds with no luck). I'm a member of several other automotive forums (the local jeep club of which I'm quite active) and their unwritten rule is you are allowed to post ebay auction links IF you offered it to the club first, with no results. Just my .02 worth.
