I want to build and operate a parts exchange board for this
community.  I tossed this idea around on another post while looking
for used extruders and got a few takers.  Would this interest more
people?  And what would be important to users if I did get this thing
going?  The worst is to start building something without any customer
feedback.

Here's what I'd like to see:
- What kind of bots you have (with modifications)
- A list of what extra parts you have lying around
- A list of parts you're looking for
- A list of parts you're willing to exchange
- A way to message users
- A link to your Thingiverse profile

Any other thoughts?
