I'll discuss with the rest of the team and advise.

^^ This is a great idea.
I do believe that a price & photos of items are required. Fair enough if your selling a simple "bunch of parts" Or a slightly bigger bunch. But when you are wrecking a whole car, well, thats just a hard ask.
General Photos of said car, Say 3 oustide shots, 3 interior (front, rear, cluster) And an under bonnet shot & maybe a boot shot is more than fair, Whats that around 5 mins of your time to photograph those 7 or so shots? And a basic price list up of parts. Such as Engine $XXX, Gearbox $XXX Door cards $XX Wheels $XX, and other main items that are the usual selling point, or are particular about the car such as rare OEM rims or something. With a "please post for wanted items you can see, but not price listed above" dislaimer.
I think thats more than fair for a free service.
Best not to PM with items, because you can get "Whats your offer on <insert item here>" Especially with a part you want, (even more especially a rare one) but have never seen one sold, so you have no idea what its worth. I had that once, a bloke PM'd me for an offer on a part that I had previously shown interest in & I thought, well is $1000 not enough or is $5 the highest paid amount in the history of mankind for this part? I had long moved on from buying it anyway so I politely declined to offer an amount and said that my finances were being focused elsewhere, which they have been.
