Nothing pisses me off more than trying to help someone out that has been looking for an elusive part, only to pick it apart when they don't know what they are talking about....
I tried to help someone out on the other forum with a part that he'd been looking for now for months. He didn't even know what he was looking for at first until I and a few others set him straight. I finally found said part in my barn sent him pix & info about it, including condition and all he did was to send me a list of nit-pick things he was concerned about with the part. None of which were a problem with this part, I might add. It's the nicest one I've had in years but it's 50 years old. I didn't bother trying to re-describe the part to him to reassure him that he would most likely not find one nicer, I just backed out of the sale. His loss, he can just keep looking. Either way, he will never get a chance to purchase it from me again.
I guess I am becoming an old prick!

Fuck the dick.
anywho, that reminds me of a friend that sold a guy a hard to find pair of NOS tail lights. The Guy's tail lights were flaking apart and about all gone. He sends em, then the guy starts bitching about them both being driverside or some shit. I guess you can use em on either side, but the little lettering will be upside down.... Anyways, the guy went straight to bashing him before contacting him. So I informed my friend about what the guy was posting. He was willing to give the guy a full refund if he returned em. But the guy wanted to keep them, he just wanted then at half price or less.

I think I see who that member was. No surprise. I've heard other stories about him.

You did ALL you could do for the fool. Feel great about that! If it wasn’t good enough for him, he is the prick. Dont let it bug you . 50 year old antique stuff is what it is if you can even find it. If he cant find it anywhere else and comes back, do him right and double your price. Revenge pays!😁

Save the good stuff for us Joe, the people that appreciate the work you put into finding it, buying it, cleaning it, storing it, taking it to swap meets etc.
