The Looking for One of These thread is great and I frequently look just for the fun of it. That said, is there a thread where I can indicate what I want? If not, perhaps it would be a good resource for us all to share. At the moment, I am looking to find a Normandy Competition front hub in good shape. Trade is desired. PM me if you have one.

The hub, incidentally, in needed to complete(almost) my 63 PX10.

Randy,

I'm posting this in the thread because this topic comes up fairly often. Overt offers to buy are not permitted. The rationale takes a bit of mental exercise to follow, but we have actually seen instances in the past where a site guest has responded to a posting in a thread with offers to sell and listing a price (a privilege of membership that is strictly enforced). However... there's no problem with saying you are looking for something, and broadly hinting that you are open to cash transactions. Phrases like "PM me even if my trade offers aren't what you're looking for", and such are fine.

Cheers,

Z

p.s. - I edited your OP. Don't think further explanation is needed.

p.p.s. - Have you checked the Classic & Vintage "Sales" subforum? There is a thread there for trades - ISO (in search of). It's a sticky.

USAZorro;

Thanks for the heads up and it was not my intention to circumvent Forum policy. Sorry if I created any confusion or offended other members.

Not a problem. It comes up with some regularity, and frankly, the reasoning behind it isn't especially intuitive. Posted here, rather than via PM, in hopes of clearing this up for a few others as well.
