Trevor,

Pure, unbridled economics. That's the point I was making about Moss; they can 
buy the stuff for X and sell it to suckers for Y; profit = X-Y. More power to 
'em!

  Quality costs. Would you rather the only repro of a bugeye
grill costs $2500? It's not unreasonable, as the cost to produce
rises the end cost rises which cuts into sales, and the unit
cost rises from the low production.

  Nobody is stopping you from starting a production line. If
the economics are so simple, you'll have a fleet of LBCs
in no time, right?

  It's so easy to criticize, but have you ever thought "you
know, it's pretty cool that I CAN EVEN GET a grill for a
40 year old car that was a cheap low produced car even
when new".
