all im saying is there is a dair price and then there are the other guys
just like the guys who want tons for a plapped out car but then they want to give nothing for what you have im more of a fair price i might start out high but that way i have wiggle room for what i want and everyone comes out feeling like they won i get close to what i actually want and the other person feels they got me talked down.

good points however nobody holds a gun to someones head and forces them to buy something. It is their choice to either pay the price, buy a repop, or walk away completely. There are people out there that will try and take advantage of you though. That's why you should never post that you are looking for a certain dated ,certain casting number block or trans etc.
Once someone knows you are building something date correct etc there are people that will jack the price up because they know you are more likely to pay.

We purchase a lot of our tools, equipment etc at auction. if you are at an auction and are interested in an item, look over it , make sure it is what you want & without problems you can see......dont hover over it or show to much interest in it, in most cases you are being watched by the equipment owner or his shill. dont be the first one to bid it, be one of the last. sellers look for the guy with his tongue hanging out of his mouth with the gotta have it eyes. If you are that guy, you will be bidding against the owner. DONT CATCH AUCTION FEVER!!

Just my take on it I sorta think things got misunderstood by many,that's all.

your SPOT on tod74...I been on here (RJ) 8 years in April and i have seen it all, i know who starts Chit and Who don't.
with that said this Thread doesn't deserve anymore of my attention. its ricidiculous.

Rudy last thing i will say to you is this....i Thought we were cyber frineds ( or at least i was to you but i see you clear now)....i am good with it all ..i do not participate much..i just hang in the shadows cleaning up people's mess..but when i DO POST there is no ill intent involved toward anyone...My how the site has changed from the Old Days !!!...good ole USA of the "Offended".....lol :D
