Hi Mark and all,

        I’m replying to this message so that more folks are likely to see it. 

        I’ve noticed a trend in my VW community where more folks are giving away useful items to fellow bus care takers.  Folks still sell things but, I’ve also been lucky to have folks sell things at a family discount.  

        I remember this was how things worked in my early VW bus days. 

Thanks Mark for posting this and I bet it gets a great new home with a lot of joy. 

Reminds me of the person on this list that asked if anyone needed some brown dash parts.  My ashtray was partly broken.  He sent me one and refused payment. 

        This community is amazing in so many ways. 

Best to you all.
