Default Re: Parts Trend - What's with the asinine Pricing?

I myself have no issues with a parts hunter charging what he feels as though the market will bring. The guys that do this full time to make a living have 10's of thousands of dollars in their own overhead. I.E. travel, hotels, fuel cost, having to own a vehicle large enough to haul these parts across country etc. They make connections that turn into parts deals over long periods of time(unpaid time). They find parts for our cars through these connections that maybe lost and out of the market for very long periods of time. They do deserve to be compensated for all these cost. Not to mention the education they have given themselves thru years of searching and I'm sure being burned a few times along the way. I myself am a blue color union worker (no complaints here). I certainly would not begrudge an attorney who charges $1000 per hour. As I know its his education/expertise that I am paying for. I myself truly enjoy still going to swap meets and getting dirty. I have also paid for a professional parts finder for that item that eluded me at the meets. No issues here !!!! My 2 cents have been deposited
