Jeff;
Better rethink what "commercial" advertising means. It's an ad from TRF, not
a lister selling some shocks. As to your "ethics" of offering it to the
listers first, your into some kind of allegiance I don't see. I don't know
the "listers" any more than I know the people on eBay. In fact, if I had to
generalize, I've had better relationships with the folks I've dealt with on
eBay. There are a few folks on this group who would rather gripe over
somebody selling shocks than discuss their cars. I will continue to let the
group know if I think there's a part on eBay (mine or anybody else's) that
they may want. It's America my friend.
