Where I see the flaw with your scheme is that there is no motivation for
the seller. Why should a seller put up his goods for less than he can
get elsewhere? To motivate a seller you have to have a BENEFIT to the
seller. Nebulous "it's good for the community" benefits usually don't
work.

So I won't waste disk space by repeating myself too much! :)

I tell you what - you find some 4558's for retail price at some old
store and I'll buy as many as you have at 10% over retail.

Better yet, I'll give you a list of parts that I want and the sets
they're available in, and I'll gladly pay you 10% over their price per
piece.  How about that?

The parts you want and nothing else?
