Fishing as far as I can tell...

From what he wrote in response to my question about it being an auction-style sale...he is basically saying if someone offers him something lower than he is willing to take he will PM them back what he wants to get out of the item.........uh....there is a much easier way to do this....

POST the lowest price you are willing to take on the parts (could be very high $$$)...at the very least people will say you over priced the parts...then...you can say well they are OBO...so make some offers...
