    As a sort of primer or teaser, I’m thinking about having a virtual garage sale of sorts this Saturday, all things Toughbook, essentially a big list of some of my surplus Toughbook computers and parts, posted on the buy/sell page.

    I’m working to complete the BST forms and take all the pictures to be in compliance with forum rules, though for smaller items, like cards, covers and such, I’m in a quandary.

    Unless I’ve read or interpreted it wrong, a BST form and pictures are required for items over $100, or, any item that’s for trade. That said, if I was to list every small item for trade using the formatted eight line BST form, I’m afraid the post would go on forever.

    I’m wondering if for the smaller items, or items significantly under $100. I could just post a list, include a nominal FS price, BUT, with a notation that trades would be preferred. I'd post pictures of all items, just with multiple items per image. I’ve acquired all sorts of stuff in my pursuit of Toughbook nirvana, stuff that I’d really like to trade for parts I need to complete other TBs.

    Maybe some others here might also sort through their treasure chests and post a big list of their own as well.

    Thanks,

    Do one form for the items over $100
    Then just add items c/w pictures on the over $100
    Don't worry on the small items ,several pics and a list is fine for them
