Parts Trend - What's with the asinine Pricing?

[ds1]

I got into that high end stuff for 2 years. What a joke. It is a proven FACT nos parts are not exactly the same as assembly line produced. Many parts you can still get. I'm tired of hearing about supply and damand. I see the same guys carrying the same parts for so long not moving anything. I sell parts at reasonable prices. I sold a Z28 crank 8n the spring for 450 not the overpriced market rate of 650 to 700. I sold a 69 Z28 intake 3 years ago to a very prominent member on here for 300. That is what it was worth. Money on hand and I moved on. I offered a guy with 3 1968 z distributors 750 for one. You would have swore I stabbed him. I told him only so many people need that part and my car will run with a 5 dollar distributor with the wrong number on it. I have gone back to selling common parts an have been making fair money on them. I bought some nos parts for my car I no longer want an will sell them to buy reproduction. Just my 2 cents
