Organizing research materials

This to me, is complete and total madness! Why not have a way of searching distant hobby shops? I know it is impractical to actually get an entire hobby shop's inventory, but at the very least, it would be great if we, in the back of our minds, kept a mental note of what everyone else might be looking for (I usually do), and so if I spot it, I can send a PM, ask if you want the part, and then I can go pick it up the next time I'm down that way.

That way, rather than sitting there checking Ebay every week for some rare kit, we could "expand" our reach through each other, and maybe find that part that the Hobby shop owner thought he couldn't sell.

But yeah, thats enough from me now!

This would be a good use for the Equipment and Supply sources Thread: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=51">viewforum.php?f=51</a><!-- l -->

If you guys think it would help and we get a few members involved, this could turn out to be a great resource for those hard to find parts..... Of course, then there's the matter of shipping the parts, unless they can be ordered directly from the hobby store and shipped to the buyer(s)...
