A carrot? Why not a lug nut or a wrench or a wheel cover? Think how many

I know that I'm a newbie to the club. In other clubs I belong to (auto and
motorcycle), members have been scammed as well. Has the 300 club
considered setting up a rating chart akin to how customers rate sellers on
ebay or amazon.com? It would provide the proper incentive (e.g., carrot)
for suppliers to follow through on their promise in a timely and
professional manner, creating a true win-win for both
buyer/seller/prospective seller.

Just a thought,
