Parts supplier thread?

[Talonmotorsport]

I can not see it happening to be honest but I stand to be corrected.

Every good forum should a section with stuff for sale, does not matter if individuals or commercial as long as it directly relates, it helps every builder.
Check out this forum it started just like this one. http://www.corvetteforum.com

defo a good idea as long as it is not abused, then at least there will be an alternative to egay

Traders should subscribe and pay a monthly fee to be able to offer goods and services.

How about drumming up a new user name eg haynesbitz or something like it with the same name for the password. Then as a good supplier is found they can be entered on as a thread and if they falter one bit they can be wiped off by the members.Would always be easy to find as it would be a member. That way its members run and maintained without haynes having to be compromised liability wise.

Just thoughts.

Nah.....getting into a whole different ball game with unecessary complications
simple honesty and if that is not upheld then mods can simply 'bar' that person from selling/buying.....well that is my opinion anyway

kitspares/gbs did have a set of gaz shocks to fit the haynes roadster (extension type) on the stand so thay kind of are already

a for sale section has been asked for in the past by chris gibbs but haynes come back with a no.

as for traders paying to advertise. the purpose of this site is solely for people building their cars not for traders trying to flog their wares. Haynes pay for all the hosting and web management hence we dont need crappy adverts like locostbuilders and other forums to pay for the running costs

personally i dont have a problem with a non trader affiliated member starting up a recommended traders thread and i will be happy to make it a sticky thread so it stays on top and clear out all the non related junk.

i would sugget that they list the traders name address contact number and email along with a brief description of what they sell

Well I think that would be a cracking idea, especially for those who are new to building or are considering tackling a build We, as a forum, need to encourage these people so giving them the low down on who supplies what can make things a lot clearer.

In fact, I think I might by that 'non trader affiliated member' you mention Ash

Baz, yes I know GBS are doing haynes parts what I was answering was would there be a recommended supplier list, which as I thought aint going to happen.
