Question for the group regarding new reproductions and items available again.

[Karl Wescott]

Warbird just posted about Drake re-issuing 1940 bumper guards (ty). Mike Driscoll started a thread years ago "New Products Available...", of which I have posted to several times.


The questions I have is first is the "New Products Available..." of value to the group?


Should re-issues of previouly reproduced items be posted to the "New Products Available..." (as I have done with a couple of Carpenter items), To a new "Repro Parts Available Again" thread, as an individual thread (as Warbird did), or not at all? Should there be time limit for having been out of stock? If so how long... 1 year, 2 years, 5 years?


This forum is supposed to avoid blatant advertising, so most posters to the "New Products Available..." have limited themselves to one announcement (or occasional progress reports to a project with beginning, intermediate and end reports". Should this convention also apply if a "Repro Parts Available Again" thread get started?
