TL;DR: Send me the Amazon parts/tools/accessories you or a 'Repected Other' has researched and used.
Over the last 3 years, I've seen a huge increase in using Ebay & Amazon for parts, tools, and rv accessories sourcing. I don't see how Loffen gets anything done, he must stay in ebay around the clock, heh! I'm almost as bad as Loffen, except I'm on Amazon. I've done several vehicle projects lately -GMCmh, Sprinter, Honda Fit- using Amazon. Several others on FB and here apparently do the same, based on their posts. I'm also getting a lot of requests for "how did you do that" after rallies or posts on FB, 95% (maybe more) of which I sourced on AMZ.
If everyone that has asked for parts sourcing keeps waiting for me to compose a list, well ...LEDs and such might be obsolete by the time I get a roundtuit. Others, who happen to know that I used to build and run a substantial network of websites, keep asking me to "put it on the web." That ain't likely to happen, either. I'm burned out. **IF** I build a web page, it needs to be with 2 or 3 clicks and maybe a quick cut-n-paste of some text. Oh, and zero database management.
Still, I tinker with web development because {a} I like to program and {b} I still consult with web businesses (that won't let me retire). All of the above was to get to this: I've cludged together a rough hack of my old Amazon Associates site and I can now build crappy-looking pages of (just) Amazon items in 2 clicks and separate them by category (Tools, Drivetrain, Exterior, etc). Over the past couple of days, I've built a "People Or Manufacturers I Trust" catalog of past purchases by several people who wanted to contribute to the knowledgebase. "Trust" is too strong a word for manufacturers but they tend to float to the top when researching a project. Atwood, for example. I can even assemble a section of specific parts used in a project.
FULL DISCLOSURE: Amz will not let me use their servers and software unless the site eventually sells something. If it sells something, I make a laughably-low commission. I also fully understand concerns about spamming. I don't need the beer money that badly.
Thoughts?
