I agree, we need to find this Rich = character, and convince him to handle all the selling and buying of vanagon parts on = this list. I have been proactive by creating a rough draft proposal to him.

Rich,

If your out there, = we on the Vanagon.com mailing list would like you to handle all of the "parts" transactions from now on. We have established the following guidelines:

1) Always include a price

2) Always include an = address (a zipcode only is un-acceptable)

3) Always give " A = good deal" to fellow list members

4) When you are the = receiver of "a good deal", be sure to pass it on ( Good Karma ;) )

5) Before anything = goes to the scrapyard, invite all fellow listmembers to review the items selected = for disposal. ( There may just be a beer or two in it for you !)

6) If your neighbor = wants to buy your junk for $10, let him have it for $5.

7) Do not sell any "off = topic", AKA non-vanagon parts in this forum.

8) Most importantly, = do not allow anyone ( including yourself) to get rich while following these = guidelines. I have heard that many entrepreneurs have done so selling these precious = items off of the list. Ken W. & Ron. S can attest to this I'm sure. Selling vanagon parts (especially used ones) was until now = one of the best kept secrets in becoming an overnight millionaire. Not any more...

Thanks for your time

We Vanagon owners who despise people who accept money for = parts
