Idea:

Some companies I buy from offer an on-line catalog that works like paper. It has pages you turn etc. CDNN Sports comes to mind. Might be an alternative that would work and not cost a mint to execute.

I am with the paper catalog folks, but it is really not practical in our corner of the hobby since sales #s are so small.

I buy a lot more from places where I can sort through and look at the items over time. This is especially true for big car guys b/c we have a hard time finding parts at all much less that are correct, and it really pays to be 100% sure before you buy. The times I have bought from PY I have never been able to get the catalog to work and have had to call on the phone to figure out if they have what I need. The problem with this is that the majority of the time I am able to shop is not during the hours when most things are open.

Hope this helps. I am also willing to sit down at the machine and walk through the issues I have had on-line in effort to help. I would always prefer to buy the repro stuff here if I could. I do not have very good luck with the other guys and will not buy there if I can possibly avoid it.

I still circle things I want and then hand it to my wife before my birthday. It works most of the time.
