[s-cars] for sale stuff

[Eric Phillips]

I guess it's just a friendly kind of thing.  I mean, someone coming on
and ALWAYS making some pitch or other would get old.  So I guess some
thoughtful judgement is required.  The s-car list always has folks
offering up their stuff to the listers first before dumping it out to
the sharks.

While I rarely get a chance to bid before some other fsck, errr,
lister, takes it away from me, I do appreciate having a crack at it.
In addition, on some of the parts regularly discussed, I'd like to be
able to offer them first to some of the folks who have been most
helpful to me - as a way of saying "thanks for the help".

I consider this to be a reasonable, moderate position.  But, of
course, my opinion on my own position doesn't mean squat.  LOL
