Having a number to call for parts is well out of order IMO
How can people be sure they will get the parts they pay for and are not covered by ANY e-Bay rules or regulations, you are and will be breaking them

Spadge aways seeems to do ok by offering the parts seperately.

Make sure they are clean, well discribed and the photos are clear.

If you sell the engine as a complete runner make sure you can show it running to eliminate any problems before someone buys it.

That's my feeling on the matter
List tehm seperately, well described as said with clear picture and all will be well

I just don't trust people that have a list in auctions and say ring me don't bid

If list them seperately, you KNOW it will sell and KNOW you have the added bonus of feedback if goes right/wrong can always leave you comments on the matter
