<VV> Parts Hoarding Solution

[Bill Hubbell]

I have a similar story. About seven years ago our club (Tidewater) was hosting the Virginia Vair Fair. I wanted to unload some parts but did not have time to sit at a swap lot, so I just laid the parts out with a can and a sign asking folks to pick their parts and leave a donation for the CPF. 

By the end of the weekend most of the parts were gone and there was $243.20 in the can. The CPF got the money and I got a tax deduction and room in my garage.

After spreading them out on the parking lot I would go off to tend to my Hospitality room responsibilities leaving only a sign to tend to the swap space.  "Take what you want first, then see me in the Hospitality room to pay ... Take the parts FIRST!"  About two or three years ago my inventory of parts I would probably never have needed was completely depleted; distributed to those that had a need.
