I am now also listing on Rennlist. Some might reason that my the price is too high, but the items are priced at the low end of eBay listings and discounted below that here and Rennlist because there is no eBay fee. What do you think? I'm puzzled.

We've had, and have, a couple fellas upon this
community board sell parts over the years... and have been quite successful at it. What I have recognized is that they usually treat their board-brothers (and sisters) to some quite nice discounts on parts.
You might consider listing your parts to "strangers" for a higher price and, as an enthusiast yourself... significantly lower your prices for us "members". You know... give us the right of first refusal. In other words... give us, here, a break. If someone you don't know (not "us") wants or can pay a higher price... more power to you.
For example... from people I've associated with upon this board I managed to replace my 4-spoke steering wheel with a nice 3-spoke for $100. Another $100 for the airbag. Rear diffusers? $100. Rear aftermarket wing? $100. I've a nice little list of those "member" discounts.
Likely you get my drift.
