Chris:  There is a parts trading system established. It's called 
FastParts Exchange. According to FAstParts they provide a real-time 
auction venue on the Internet where subscribers can anonymously post or 
broadcast their long or short part positions by part number to all other 
exchange subscribers. FastParts does not take a buy or sell position and 
they liken themselves and how they operate to NASDAQ (The National 
Association of Security Dealers Automated Quotation system).

They have a demonstration of the system on the Internet at: 
<http://www.fastparts.com> or you can E-Mail them at

FastParts is a member of the IPC.
