Camino LS6 868 Posted October 11, 2009 online "swap meet" sites? I'd love a good forum where people can buy and sell used parts etc. I'm finding that ebay and craigslist don't even offer as much as the old print "tradin Times" sort of thing did. I think there is a place for something like this that isn't generic like ebay and craigslist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balthazar 3,234 Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) I would recommend brand-specific sites, or you will just be wading thru mountains of..... oh wait- you like Chevys. :wink: Seriously, my B-59 is modified- I go to the HAMB, Buick-59.com & V8Buick.com (and eBay). Craiglist is a shot in the dark for specific, rarer stuff. A car-only, used-only, national-search 'Craiglist' would be great, if anyone would get off their duff.

What do you think Oldsmoboi, should C&G do it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepidation 882 Posted October 11, 2009 We have a member marketplace, but I agree with Balthazar, brand, or better yet, platform / model specific sites are your best bet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z28luvr01 170 Posted October 11, 2009 Doesn't Hemmings have an online classified section? You could also try Special Interest. Not exactly model specific, but not a general classifieds either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XP715 6 Posted October 11, 2009 A car-only, used-only, national-search 'Craigslist' would be great, if anyone would get off their duff. Umm, dude, you CAN search multiple regions of craigslist at once: http://www.searchtempest.com/ Put in whatever you want, choose a mile range, and see what comes up.

Camino LS6 868 Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks for that link, XP! It could help a bunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balthazar 3,234 Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, I'm aware of the national CL search, but the problem is, it's not car-only and it's clogged with brand new stuff too. Esp for my interests- vintage stuff is not common. I want better! I've found Hemmings online to be somewhat cumbersome, but that's an excellent suggestion, too.

Esp for my interests- vintage stuff is not common. I want better! I hear ya. I have the same problem in skimming craigslist for old toys. Every knucklehead that has a worthless rusty 80's Tonka dump truck that's been under their back porch since new is in between the occasional piece worth looking into. It would be nice if there was a way to choose a cutoff year for what you're looking for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
