Yeah, buy & sell is a great idea, as has been mentioned. Then you would not have to be concerned about being screwed on e bay, as mook said.

"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
You guys know there is a buy sell section on the forums, and many use it.
What can we 'do' to make it different and better?
Remember eBay has 1,000 software engineers designing their website - mySandman still hasn't paid the fees to the last guy. :Texas:
Be specific and get your brain juices flowing, how can this site best server the Sandman community (other than updating and correcting errors on our website).
Allow people who wreck cars to post items for sale regularly....

The other things I've seen are;
A map with a rough location of members. While it can be nice, plenty of people also worry about the privacy issues there.
I generally found the registry that stickthis has on his hz-gts site interesting. It could be interesting to see the same with vans if their known history was also there. Same privacy issues again however.
I've also seen one where forum members could advertise their services to other members. So if you're looking for a tradie or mechanic you could look to other members.
All that said, I find this to be one of the best forums out there and is a credit to you Blocker.
Edit: Just logged into oldholden, I do like their nifty ebay scroll bar widget.

I sort of like the way it is simple and just a forum. I reckon it is the easiest to find your way around on also.
Maybe you could have a featured van or ute or car show or similar each month.
I really like the map suggestion, a services directory maybe? what if it was divided up into State and categories?
If I developed an iPhone(y) app what would it do? No point having an app that's just a copy of the website?
There is nothing iphone(y) about them! Just makes a short cut on the screen to go to mysandman. Makes us iphone legends even cooler.

Sandman ID feature. Enter in tag details and check boxes for body identifiers (door switches, headlining etc) The app then comes back with a definite Yes, definite No or Maybe.
HQ-WB colour and trim codes, possibly with photo examples. MrJones? on old holden has a pretty good photo collection. Enter the code, app tells you colour name, models it was available on etc. Take a photo of a colour on a car and app gives you the paint code and name
Link to search for "Sandman" on ebay.
Direct upload of photo's from the phone into MySandman.com photo gallery.
Probably a shitload of work, and given that we've seen a photo of your wife we could understand that a computer screen may not be the most alluring object to take up your free time..
a store would be great. and with Vbulletin you should be able to find a mod that you can install onto the site with ease. i used to run a forum that had that kind of stuff. it was good and pretty easy to install those kinds of mods. If you need any help i used to be able to code stuff here and there so let me know
What's happened to the colour samples on the paint codes page?
