If a vendor wants to participate, all he/she needs to do is pm the member who is asking for the part. Also, you guys can make it where members can only start a thread, and not be allowed to read any of these threads, including the thread and title that the member started. If a member has vendor or moderator status, then that member will have full access to read and pm at will, but will not be allowed to post, only pm. That would eliminate non-vendors from undercutting the vendors. I am currently looking for a special order part and am not willing nor have the time to pm 20 vendors or hope that the vendor selling the item I need, sees my thread in WTB. The vendors are more than likely going to loose out from me this time because I would rather just google the part and find the lowest price on the web. I have always supported our vendors(well, most of them) and will continue to do so.

Anyway...Thanks for looking into it
