My sentiments completely....
I am fully supportive of our vendors. I think they do a super job and they
are honorable men.
However, if this ball joint venture would work out, I don't see this as
snubbing the vendors, I just see it as a good 'ole 18th century exercise in
co-op economics brought up to date with the internet serving as the
community thread.
I've already received several responses voicing interest. A few have
expressed Pete's opinion that there are a whole lot of roadsters running
around that could use some ball joints - if the price were right.
Let me know!

My question would be what are the odds that my ball joints need replacing?
Currently not running (blocked - no emergency brake - on inclined driveway),
so cannot do the suspension check on 311s.org;
<http://www.311s.org/tech/susp/susp_check.htm>.
Heck, is there -ANY- roadster (other than the one w/ less than 10k original
miles that you have packed in cosmoline in a barrel in a barn) that does
-NOT- need the ball joints replaced?
That said, if we get 'em for less than 1/2 current price, then I'll
tentatively say "me interested."

If you were convinced the parts were quality parts, can I get a quick,
non-binding count of who on the list would be interested in submitting an
order for a full set (two upper and two lower) of ball joints?.
