Kai, you're absolutely right about the manpower involved in pulling a used part,
cleaning it, etc. Especially when the part is one-of-a-kind. When I order used
parts over the phone, I expect to pay a little more due to labor involved than
if I gather the part myself. In my case, I got to scrounge around to find two
frames that matched, get stung by hornets (twice) pulling a capping , but hey
that was fun for me to see all the neat cars in various stages of decay.
Getting soaked on the price wasn't. I just didn't think the guy was worthy of
the high praise that lister from Rochester gave him. BTW, Ithica is a
beautiful town. I miss that area, but only during the summer!
