You are not asking too much. I find that for about every 10 people who
inquire about a part, I get one paid order. Sort of like the story
about the 10 lepers and only one can back and said thanks.

Subject: WIPER CONTROLS Am I asking too much?
Am I asking too much?
Recently six or more LBC owners inquired of the cost for one of my wiper
control units.
I replied to all inquires that I would build one for their car for 39.95
+
6.00 priority mail shipping.
Maybe my messages are not going out due to the recent virus, but I
have
not received any messages back from any of them. Am I asking too much?
The printed circuit board alone cost me $10 to have made up, not
counting
the many hours it took me to design and lay out the board itself. The
rest
of the components cost about $12. Two hours assembly time, one hour
testing, packing, making up an installation kit and a trip to the post
office. So figure three hours or more at minimum wage and tell me, if I
am
asking too much?
Im not trying to become rich from making these up for my club
members
and other LBC owners, but it gives me something to do in my retirement
and
keeps me from drinking too much beer. Am I asking too much?
VB charges 39.95 + 8.75 UPS ground shipping for their simple delay
switch.
This device just turns your wipers on and off. You have to change your
car
to negative ground to use it. It provides no means of scratch prevention
or
motor protection. And I doubt they will give you one-year free
replacement
if it fails.
Please tell me if I am asking too much.- Ed
