Used/Surplus parts at conventions

[Robert Goodale]

While discussing this bit with "surplus pianos" a thought came to me
to me.  In addition to the new parts supplies that companies sell at
the national conventions, why not have an area where technicians could
sell inventory that they would like to sell?  This could range from
salvaged/hard to find parts to new parts that they don't need.  Used
tools and cases could also be sold including old tuning devices.  Shop
jigs and even shop equipment could be on the block in the way of
photographs.  There are a lot of unique and specialized things that
techs have accumulated over the years that are sitting around rotting
only because they don't know what to do with them.  Meanwhile someone
might just be looking for that unusual type of caster, pedal assembly,
carved music desk, or whatever.  Techs could pay some nominal fee for
using the space, (say $2.00), which would go into the PTG Foundation
or some such thing.

What do you think?
