Ray, and Listers,
I'm pretty sure that everyone is saying that it's NOT ok to do that.
Chris' placing the oil pan on Ebay is his choice, and his putting a notice
on this list allows those here that are really keen on those kinds of
vintage (or repro-vintage) parts to obtain an item that otherwise might just
go to someone who thought they were buying a Furby. Along the way, the sale
of that oil pan will also establish the 'going price' for those particular
items in a public forum, which isn't a bad thing.
I don't think that the offering for sale of one oil pan establishes Chris as
a 'commercial' Tiger parts vendor, regardless of what his business is.
Regards,
Theo Smit
