That would certainly be a nice thing to do, and I've done something
similar to that in the past.
Sounds a little like worrying about nickle and dime stuff to me,
though. I don't bother keeping track of the parts and even little
sets that I give to people (although I do have a couple of boxes
sitting on my couch that badly need to be mailed) just because it's
something they're looking for. I prefer to simply give.
If 2 people download the Excel file containing the little inventory I
did last night, one to just have it and help catalog his parts bins
and set, and the other to help setup a parts auction for 20 copies of
that set, I'm happy. The fact that the second person is getting a
shortcut on his way to make some money doesn't make a bit of
difference to me, especially since I might be bidding on some of the
parts in his auction and appreciating the fact that I can get just
what I want instead of buying a whole set.
A thank-you would be nice, sure, but if I didn't want to _share_ the
info I wouldn't put it up for people to download.
