Frank,
I haven't chimed in on this thread yet but know seems the appropriate time. And before I begin, let me say that I have not read your last thread in its entirety. With that being said, I think that the issue from the get-go is that member's antennas are pretty fine-tuned (some more than others). When someone new arrives and his/her first thread states I have a lot of parts for sale, shoot me a list, I might have what you need ... antennas go up.
Then, when the person's next three threads (and 60 some odd posts later) are posted and they are all regarding "I just bought a car, what's it worth & hey, now I'm selling it on ebay", may people think you are here to just hock your wares and leech (excuse the term) off the FABO brain trust. Maybe it would have been nice to introduce yourself and establish some sort of relationship with the masses here before going into sales mode. You seem like a personable fellow and the above is just a little something for you to think about before you repudiate FABO as a whole.
