I think CNC related parts for sale listings would be a benefit to this
group (IMO). Sure beats hanging out in industrial surplus shops. But I
might suggest we use a 'depository' for detailed listings at one of the
free web site services (like Geocities). That way you would only need
to make a general announcement that you have things for sale on the
list, and let interested parties browse the web page for detailed
information. This would not waste the bandwidth of those not interested
in buying. You web add could have digital pictures too. I have seen
newsgroups collectively create similar web depositories.

I have been trying to make space in my garage the last few days and have
discovered I have a ton of stuff I need to get rid of as well. Mostly
THK, IKO and Thomson linear bearings. I would be more interested in
trading for things I need than selling though.
