I, for one, has to say that I support the sale of parts on the List.
Commercial or private. This is our source for parts, while the List
provides us with intellectual support too, not to mention the moral support
when our car makes us give up and the Honorable List will pull us back, give
hope, guide us back to life. And most of those guys who do that are the
ones who also help us to the affordable parts with compensation for their
effort. They would not embarrass us by giving it free and making us
wondering how to make up for it. Those who feel should complain, may live
in a imaginary world, driving free cars, free gas and free parts with free
repair shops. Let me tell them; this is as free or as cheap as you can come
close to your ideal, driving a Vanagon that needs less gas, less repairs and
less in price for parts, less to worry for a dent or scratch, most space,
most purposeful use, most waves on the road, the best Internet support here,
personal support from your nearest Vanagon mate, etc, etc. And to keep this
wonderful chain going, we need to keep our car in shape and have as many
guys to sell part as possible so they can compete with their prices and get
even cheaper.
Did I leave anything out?

If for one second you don't like reading the offerings from other list
member's use your delete key----
Then my friend, you had better limit the exposure of the "for profit"
establishment's also, such as the Bus Depot, VanAgain, etc.etc.
I too am also very tired, of listening to fellow member's bitch about
poor service, wrong parts, poor parts, etc, being offered by the various
vendor's.
Limit the private sector---limit the buisness sector.
Lets be fair with your assesment's on free, fair enterprise------

Is anyone else sick of people trying to get rich selling parts on this
list? I am.
If you've got a van you're sending to the junkyard, in the spirit of
helping others on the list, why don't you post something like "Van on
its way to the junkyard in a week - come take whatever bits you want
before it's gone - located in Anytown, USA"? You'll make a bunch of
people happy, you'll make some new friends, maybe someone will buy you a
beer or even insist that you take a few bucks or offer some spare parts
they've got that you might need.
That's what this list is all about. Clean out your garage, recover your
costs - that's just fine. But if you want to use this forum for free
advertising to squeeze every last penny out of a junked van or a
listmember in need, take it somewhere else - I, for one, don't want you
here!
