I think this is a great idea!
I wonder how accurate the information will be since it will reflect the personal opinions of those users who provide the "data".
An excellent example will be the issue of accuracy...the sample spreadsheet says the body on the Unique is accurate, but that could be misleading...didn't we just have a thread comparing the ERA and the Unique, the rocker panel on the ERA seems to be more in line with the shape of the originals than the Unique, IIRC....to the uninformed (read: ME!!) that would be something I would not ever notice, but to some it would be a critical issue.
How about models that have been upgraded from time to time...Hurricane comes to mind, and what model are we on with the FFR offerings...MKIV?? MKI, MKII, and MKIII would require a separate field for each.
Sounds like a monumental undertaking, but if it is successful I think it would be one of the most visited threads on the forum. Does a week go by without yet another new thread by a noob asking these very questions????
Another field I think would be helpful would be one indicating where the parts for the build can be sourced...donor build (ala FFR), complete kit (like Hurricane), etc...how much fabrication is necessary (that is a deal-breaker for ME)...internet links so potential buyers can find online support communities (FFROG, etc.)...those sorts of things. All that could be invaluable for someone attempting to conduct their due diligence.
Cheers!!!
