Wayne you are correct this is one of
the many reasons I like our list....
I have met some real good folks on
here, AND always get great info, on more then one occasion I was doing something
in my shop and was having difficulty and then remembered something that was on
our list and wham it worked!!
Roger also hit the nail on the head,
one can make a whole brand new brand GM or brand F from a book, (check those
prices!!) why are repo parts so scarce for our cars??
I am told all the time , "well you
need a demand first!"
Looking at some of the prices being
paid there must be a demand...
I think allot of it is due the large
numbers of our cars that met their final journey in the
crusher...
Here in Minnesota the land of 10,000
taxes you can pay a one time fee of $90.00 pay no additional tax, and that tag
(limited as it may be) lasts as long as you need
it...
Seems fair to
me.
My point is we go to swap meets or
look on eBay and grumble about the price and then buy a 20oz bottle of
water for $3.50 or a 12 pack of pop for 6 !
There is no free lunch, unless you
are being pressured into a $50,000 time share someplace you never go.... ok back
off the box I know! ;-0
Oh and $3.30 for a gallon of Ethel
and don't even get an aerial topper, now that's just a
shame!!!

We're having a good discussion here on this topic.
But I may need to make one thing perfectly clear re. my original post.
I have NO disagreement with the seller of these floor
mats. He has likely had to put out a very significant amount of real
paper dollars to get his first quantity of these mats made and the majority of
that was to have molds machined from which they could be produced. The
auction format is an outstanding vehicle to get them to us the buying
public. His starting price is extremely fair and he has no guarantee of
how low bids will stay or how high they may go. This is American
capitalism at its best; the greatest form of business the world has ever
seen. Risk your own money in the market place and reap the results of
your decision to take that risk whether good or bad.
My entire gripe is with people who are absolute fools
about the paper in their wallet. And then there are those hundreds if
not thousands of Ebayer's who have no concept of how auctions work and bid for
the pure fun of bidding and have no intentions whatsoever of ever paying that
bid if it wins. I've had it happen to me.
Wayne
