Do you want more frame/fork part outs?
I am considering selling more frames and forks as parts. Especially rockshox forks. Frame part outs are really handy, instead of replacing your whole frame when it breaks, you can just buy a chainstay, or downtube at 1/4 the cost.
Or is the supply of old forks/frames low enough as is, that I shouldn't lower it further by selling everything as pieces?

I think it would be a good idea to ad that to your afds as an option, although I only buy things that are in decent condition anyway and am not yet Steezy enough to break my frames... the fork part out seems very useful and I would assume more people need fork parts than frame parts.

I would never part out frame pieces unless part of the frame is already damaged …even if I only needed a chainstay, then I’d buy the whole frame and have extra parts …I hate when I see a frame for sale but it’s missing something, like a frame specific rear axle or mounting hardware for a rear shock etc etc

It seems older forks that are in decent working condition are pretty hard to find so I think its a good idea. And new parts and frames are going to continue to be difficult to source due to continued supply issues.
