barneybrendan Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I know a lot of members are finding it hard in this financial climate to keep up on repairs,which then leads to them selling up. This is just an idea ,but might help evrybody out eventually. How many people would be willing to dig around in their sheds and donate standard parts that could be passed on to other members as and when required.I know this might seem a cheek as every penny counts,but you could need that part one day and not be in the situation to get it at the time.Maybe something could be set up where one of the mods could be contacted first and check through a list of parts. What do you guys think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Good idea. I need a TT auto bpu. Just to get on the list first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Good idea. I need your ARP slam panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Saying this I saw so many parts I have lying about last week, which I was about to donate free. But it made me think twice at some attitude of some members towards me. So I decided I will only donate to my favouite members when they post the need of parts. Believe me I have very good condition parts from windows to window sills etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 maybe the mods could put a new section in the for sale/wanted forum and call it freecycle or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I do this quite regularly, but as Jazz said I only do it to what I consider worthy causes/members with history of contributing to the club in some way. I've done it in the past to unknown members, only to see the items put up for sale shortly afterwards. I've got various bits I'm willing to donate here, but only when I'm sure they're going to a good cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 What we need is for a mod to organise this so members can can send what they have to donate so a list can be compiled ,otherwise there will be no way of keeping track of things.The idea is so when somebody needs a part they can pm a mod and be directed to the person who has the part they need.That way it should stop anybody just grabbing parts to put on ebay ect .If nobody knows whats available until they ask for a certain part.

davej705 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Good idea,I have some parts that I'll put into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I like the idea. I have lots of parts to give away and have already given away loads of stuff, it doesnt bother me too much if someone then sells it on say if it doesnt fit, but to hoard the free parts and then sell them would be shite and not in keeping with 'club spirit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I won't be able to help out due to having no parts or a supra, but its a very good idea. I could be doing with a clean UK TT6 if anyone has one lying around that they don't need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 There's crafty people who would sell it, I know the ones I would give my parts free if they ever posted in the wanted section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 If there caught selling parts they got for free I reckon a ban would be in order, or at least stop them from advertising in the for sale section... If you got the part for free and didn't or couldn't use it, it should be re-advertised for free for another member who can put it to use...
