Re: Giant Brass Jones 8,000 RPM Tachometer
Sometimes I'll make a sarcastic comment with the people I know on the site, but it may not always translate as intended via the net. I'm fine with most of the questions asked from people looking to maximize their RTI, but I can see Vern's gripe over this particular tach. Not really muscle car related, so collectively we've become a strong catch-all resource for unrelated parts and such.
I am in sales and probably can't see through my personal bias. I don't have any issue with anyone buying and selling for a profit. It amlost started to seem like there was an unofficial rule villanizing the selling of parts unless they were at a loss. I try to buy low and sell high, but often I can only find what I want at high prices and I do end paying or even overpaying by some people's standards. In the end I am happy with my purchases.
I thought Matt's spot at Carlisle this year was probably the best collection of parts in the place and his prices seemed fair to me. I would like to encourage more to bring those kind of parts out.
I also consider myself lucky to have local guys churning things up and flushing things out, and I can swing by and check out. But don't get me wrong. Most of us enjoy the thrill of finding rare parts etc. So a healthy balance is nice. Seems we have that most of the time.
