In the 4 years I've been on this list I have never felt the need for a day for swapping parts and pieces. Most item requests are filled by other listers which is the way it should be within this little community. Hopefully offlist which is where this sort of business belongs.
This will fall on deaf ears but I see no point in making yet more rules that will need to be enforced, a easier way would be to encourage folks to ask for bits which the rest of us may be able to help out with, offlist.
Every response is noted.
But how do you get parts you want/need from list members, short of asking on the list? The idea is that after the initial request/offer, everything else would be off list.
For example, someone might have more early compacts than they have mice with D-type connectors. If it were allowed, they might like to ask the folk on this list if anyone could give them one or sell them one for a fair price. AFAIK, d-type mice are compact-specific, and so this is the obvious group to ask.
Or someone might have a couple of the 1" heavy mouseballs for the earliest mice available, and, again, compact Mac owners are the ones most likely to be interested.
Or, someone might want to offer two heavy balls for a good mouse, with or without its balls.
(This is, of course, an entirely ficticious example -I would not want people to think I was trading on the list) ;-)
