[QUOTE=Doug Allen;674718]Recently, I have become a clearing house for donated parts. I have a barn at my office that I have most of the parts housed in.....several members have brought by and / or shipped parts to me that they did not need any longer and wished to donate them to the members that may have a need for them, but can't find and / or afford them.
Hi Doug!
Will you be posting a weekly list of items available? Or, should we just post a list in this thread of items we need/want. I have a whole list of things I want, but definitely can't afford to buy them all at once.
Like everyone, I'd like to get something for free, but my guts would be turning over if I pretended I was destitute, just to take advantage of the situation in order to get something for free.
How will you decide if someone is being honest about not being able to afford something or just trying to get something for free? There will also be individuals who aren't really in need of something, but just want a spare if they can get it for free. Also, if you have a number of requests for the same item, how will you decide who gets it?
I hate to be so pessimistic, but, there are just too many low-life's out there that will try to take advantage of the situation.
You are trying to do a great thing here, but, I can see a lot of headaches for you and complaining from some of the fanatics.
I wish you the best.
Frank
