Ah, it does my heart good to see a couple of you bringing up the TTA with
plans to potentially use it. It's free, and it's there for you. I hope
that some of you will give it a go and that the rest will check it
periodically for goodies. I've heard from a few listers recently who have
said that they're getting ready to list some items there. We had some
decent activity for awhile, with whole cars being offered, but it's been
pretty slow lately. Since I receive no financial gain or support in
operating it, it's no skin off my nose if it sits there empty and forelorn,
but it makes me glad that I made the effort when I see it being used.
Best wishes,
