Default Re: Parts on ebay..rant

Tony, I agree with you. There is so much info on this site. I would guess at a minimum, there are hundreds of lurkers who read the threads to help educate themselves on parts and value. All this free info helps them to make an ebay listing that maximizes the bid potential.

Now for the fellows who ask questions about specific parts and get a great response, I would expect them to give the site a shot at moving the parts rather that going directly to ebay with a link here. I've heard ther term "netiquette" used for common courtesy practices for on-line communities. I think the practice of listing here 1st after asking questions or making a post to generate a buzz falls into that category of proper netiquette. Not a rule requirment on the site, but a best practive to show appreciation of the resources that the Yenko.net is.
