Good points all around. On one hand I see nothing wrong with a person who's first in line reaping the benefits of so being. On the other, I think past a certain point it gets unfair to other members. The right thing here is that it's okay to be an OCCASIONAL reseller - not someone who's either making their livelihood off it or running a second business by doing it.

So the big question is, "what's occasional?"

Certain dollar value of parts and/or cars per month? Certain number of parts? Both? Something else? If someone violates the policy, what stops them from simply re-registering under a different name? What stops them from saying "okay fine, I'll only resell 'X' worth of parts here", then continue to snap 'em up and dump 'em on ebay or elsewhere?

Yes it's capitalism and it's okay to a point - however undermining the resource of good networks of used parts for inexpensive prices is one of the perks of being here and to jeopardize that puts the whole existance of this board in jeopardy. If not for the resource of information and parts, why have the board?

Just like "flippers" have ruined the housing market, too many of them will ruin Pelican. It's also money out of Wayne's pocket and I think he's shown amazing restraint in letting it go on unchecked as-is. As such, I'd say you guys doing it (you know who you are) - don't push your luck. Cut the crap. Do it once in a while, make a few bucks here and there, and let others get their shots too.
