The other day I saw another CAV for sale on eBay and started to, as usual, copy the url for the posting into the eBay Marketplace section of the classifieds. It struck me that may be I shouldn't do this. We have a section in the GT40 Market Place for cars that are for sale, but we require that the poster be a supporter of the forum. Now if a non-support knows that I or someone else will post his eBay auction url in the eBay Marketplace section, there is no incentive to become a forum supporter.
The amount of money we are talking about to qualify as a "forum supporter" really is a pitance; especially in light of the value of a GT40 replica. So, I reckoned, for me to post a non-supporters auction info negates the priviledge that forum supporters enjoy in being able to advertise their cars for sale here and why I should I help him/her sell their car when they haven't seen fit to help out the forum. I do plan to let any sellers know about the opportunity to become a supporter and advertise their car on GT40s.com.
The downside is that someone looking for a GT40 to purchase may not be made aware of a car for sale. But the fact is that anyone seeing my post obviously has access to the internet and can search eBay on their own. I am going to assume, then, that anyone who really wants a car will be looking on eBay anyway and I will not post anymore cars for sale. I do have saved searches on eBay for all manner of components and parts and I will continue to post interesting finds in hopes it will help someone.
Any thoughts/opinions?
