Generally "advertisements" are frowned upon in public forums, but I think there is a need and a general lack of information about assembly services in general. It's SparkFun's forum so they will have to rule on what is acceptable or not.
If I were you, what I would do is to create a blog somewhere (not SparkFun site) that talks about your assembly capabilities and provide information about how it works and what it costs from a hobbiest or small batch startup perspective. I'd love to see photos of your equipment, the kinds of boards you can do and especially, the results. For instance, I'd like to see a photo comparison between a hand soldered board and one done with your PnP. I'd also like to know about costing and how to do set up (kitting, you purchase parts, or however it works). I'd make the site as educational as possible.
Then once you have your site up you could post a link to it on various forums (with permission). Since the site is educational and not purely an ad (and not taking a lot of bandwidth on the forum), I would hope that most forum moderators would allow a link to it. On the SparkFun forum I would think the PCB Design board would be most appropriate.
I really would like to learn more. SparkFun, what do you say?
