Thanks!
I don't sleep much :D so that gives me a little more time than average.
if the truth be told, I have WAYYYYYY more time than money and just paying the asking price for some of these 40+ year old pieces.... well let's just say "they ain't an 1 of 1 E-body piece buddy" so I can't see paying your price. and they don't want to haggle on price either. they say find it cheaper if you can or see if you can find it. cause it ain't made.
plus I'm cheap too!:glasses7: I admit it. I'll work harder to save a few bucks than pay that high (to me) price. (but it usually ends up costing me almost as much or more. but I did it, NOT them!) and if I can do multiples after that it helps others too! Oh and it's a not brittle piece of 40+ YO plastic! it's a newish copy of old plastic. not perfect but close as I can make it.
That makes me think of ways around the high prices and attitude.and sometimes it works out!
not all people are like that thank goodness, There are enough good people, like on here to offset the other people who think their stuff is gold and your isn't! I'll pay a fair price for a part I need and will do so in the future again and again. but I'll give serious thought on how to do it myself. (even if I have to learn a new process to do it!) like casting resin or vacuforming mold making!
