Personally, I think that this is an excellent idea. It wouldn't have to
be at all elaborate. Just some webspace to advertise one's 'spares'.
For "auction" it could easily be 'best offer by...' A true sealed bid
auction!
The VW bus community does this on their website at: <

Of course, it would require someone willing to spend the time to
administer it.
