Loads of stuff to sell.... opinions.......
I've seemingly reached an age where spending nights pondering what engine to put in a kit car have become a little boring.... so I've
bought an MX5 instead! I'm working on the theory that now I'm middle aged, fat(ish), and grey haired/bald, people will look on in pity as
it being a midlife crisis car rather than a hairdressing thing 
BUT I have about 15 years of accumulated treasures to sell to get the money for the upgrades I want to do - having seen complaints about multiple
'for sale' posts would people rather I did everything in one HUGE post or split it into several categorised posts for easier viewing?? As
a lot of the stuff came from people on here for very reasonable prices I'd rather recycle for roughly what I paid to other people on here
rather than trying for the big money elsewhere........ comments before the big sell off next week???
PS LOTs of Crossflow tuning bits/ a complete megajolt setup (inc crossflow bike carb manifold), ford gearboxes.... the list goes on a bit........

Heh! enough of the shameless Friday afternon peak time whiping up of interest sort of posting, just give us this mother of all lists !

Ps I think the objection to multiple posts is the 5 posts to clear out some dogends of silicone hose [or different sizes of cable ties ] rather
than the the more useful essentials. One huge list can get unwieldy by the 3rd day when you have had lots of questions and answers so maybe drop it in
in a few big bits, this also increases the chances of more people benefitting.

If you're selling loads, then I would suggest stressing at the outset that there are no 'dibs'. First to lay their money on the
table gets it! That way there is no faffing about and no hurt feelings.

It might be an idea to split into 2 or 3 posts with a day or so between them and give you a chance to sort one batch out before you start on the
next

It's got to be better to split it into a few posts if there's a lot, doubt anyone would complain unless it's one post per item or
dozens of posts. It's the front page/today.php users that complain, those that look at the category view don't see any clutter.
Maybe one for engines, one for electrical, one for misc?

OK, lol, I didn't expect quite such a response I will make a list and take some pictures - a couple of people have u2u'd about things I
mentioned and I will u2u them back with details of what exactly I have to sell and what I'd like in terms of money over the weekend. I hope to
have at least a list with some ovno type prices up by Sunday evening to give everyone a chance
Cheers
Dave
