Hi all,  I'm trying to thin out my collection of parts, most of which
I got from John Wrasse and his travels.  I'm wondering if there is
a "parts exchange" or a way of advertising what I've got?  I have been
putting some things on the Facebook page, and I get some interest, but
I don't think the Facebook page reaches the broad range of restoration
people.

eBay is another option, but unless you catch someone at the exact time
they need it, it won't sell.  I suppose if I put it up there for 99
cents someone will buy it, but then it doesn't seem to be worth the
time to box it up and ship it.  After eBay and PayPal takes their cut,
there's nothing in it for the seller.

I hate to keep putting little things on MMD, it seems like this is not
the place to sell stuff.  I don't want to just pitch it, but rather
post it somewhere like a junkyard.

At one time I thought I would start a junkyard website.  I even had
the domain name "playerpianojunkyard" reserved for a while, but I never
did anything with it.  It would be a full time effort to maintain this
website.

I know the used auto parts world has many on-line junkyards, but their
stuff is normally higher ticket items that are worth the time to post
and inventory.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to start moving out
items, that still have value, to someone?
