Default Re: Proposal for ZR-1 Registry Members

I was not talking about on a forum, but listed inside the members only section since there are many folks on here, but not paying members of the ZR-1 Net Registry. Just an added benefit of being a paying member is what I am saying.

I also agree with Jeff and I posted a few items for sale and see that many looks at the post, but no response days later. Then I put it on the Bay and buy it now from a member or it sells for higher than I thought.

For example years ago, you saw lots of spark plug wires being listed and owners kits, now you don't. When you do see them, people tend to bid them up more because they feel they are rare parts. This may or may not be true if we had a true inventory of parts.

Seems like this idea, did not go over so well. I think I will leave well enough alone.
You have a good idea to help other members out, we all need those hard to find items, I , as you know, have my own personal parts house of NOS parts for C4 both ZR1 and Standard. I have this and have been creating this for over ten years because I have seven C4's that will probably follow me to the grave. I want NOS parts to install on them when I need them...HOWEVER, if a member WHOM I KNOW - having actually met them at a meeting or otherwise, has always been welcome to my parts either at my cost, or a lot of times...for free, or take it now and replace it to me soon. What I am saying is: just ask if there is a part you have REALLY tried to find, not just call your local GM dealer of whatever, and can't , if I can help I will, but if I am going to sell a impossible part to find, to someone I don't know, I'm either gonna get top dollar or keep it on the shelf.
