As long as we don't get "rule bound" I think clarification is a great idea. One of my pet peeves is goods or services being posted on the board without a price. I, for one, won't contact the seller or provider if I have no idea of whether or not I can afford the part or service. I can certainly see someone running an opinion poll on parts they're considering making to see if production would be cost-effective, but when the part is ready for prime time I wanna know if a poor man like me can afford it.
I will not bid on a part on the board. Bidding is for eBay.
Otherwise, I think this section is working pretty well. Everyone here seems to act very civilized, and most guys seem to respect the unwritten rule that the first guy in line has first right of refusal. So far, I haven't seen many squabbles. RR
