Listers,
I have received a number off-list notes that question the use of these
lists to inform listers about cars that are for sale. I know a few of us
regularily pass on this information to this list or other approiate lists.
I am in a position to hear about a bunch of cars that come up for sale in
California because of my publicity efforts on behalf of the California
British car meets. People call me with their cars for sale as well as
"tips" on cars they find it their local papers or at meets that they
attended. Generally, I have no financial interest in these cars and often
do not even know the owner or have seen the car. Sometimes they are over
400 miles away. I know that I have found new owners for cars from as far
away as Texas and the new owners were thankful and let me know when they
got their car.
My question is: how do the rest of us feel about the passing on of
cars/parts-for-sale information to the group? Is this a proper use of
bandwidth? Is it spam? Is it a nobel service??
Just wondering
Cheers,
