I like this picture format of exchanging low-cost used parts.  I'm
sure a lot of people have spare parts that they would like to see
used.  However, there's a pretty high barrier to easy exchange because
it's a hassle to take out a part, box it for shipping and then work a
transaction with another list member.  Is there an online service like
eBay that can be used to sell parts?  eBay is not so good because 1)
it's a bidding process; and 2) it's open to the whole world.  I think
it might be less hassle to have a set price and make the parts
available to a more limited group (only list members).
