Hello,
I let this discussion go for a while to see what kind of ideas would come out of it. I like the idea of trading modules, but this list is not the correct place for it. As others have stated, it might be better to take this to AH or Muff’s. I would not object to a message with a link to interesting diy-modules for trade over there (for now).
Or, if there is enough interest, I can start another list here (trading@ or perhaps more general: marketplace at synth-diy,org). Members would have to subscribe separately to that list, of course. Let me know what you think.
And for the record, the sporadic messages here for tempco’s fill a very specific niche for hard to get parts. That service is very useful to the list members. All correspondence following that is strictly off-list. Trading modules on the other hand would generate lots of to-and-fro messages here. It would lower the signal to noise ratio considerably.
Thanks,
Ben (moderator)
