I agree with others that have responded. Let it ride through the summer. I
know that I check it periodically for the odd bits I might need (and maybe
don't even know I "need" them). Also, I am trying to finish up going
through my parts pile so may have some items to list over the next couple
months.
As an alternative, the auction could be changed to a Parts Available list
similar to the Parts Wanted.

Hi everyone. Well, when it gets to the stage where I'm the only person
posting items for sale on the TOTALLY TRIUMPH AUCTION page (which is a 100%
totally free-to-use service to both buyers and sellers), then I have to
begin to ask myself whether it's worth the effort to even keep it going.
Originally, there were about 35-40 TR parts listed -- even a few autos for
sale. Considering that it costs absolutely nothing to list or sell an item
with this resource, I can't understand why everyone has seemingly given up
on it so quickly.
If no items are posted, then people are going to stop checking it, period.
Oh well, at least a few of us tried -- and I thank those who did. Once my
current auctions expire, I may let the thing linger for a week or two, but
if the list members have no interest in using this resource that was created
specifically for you, then I guess I'll pull the plug.
Thanks again to those who gave it a go.
Best wishes,
Jeff in San Diego
