Since it's a holiday weekend, and there won't be much web traffic let me try
and be funny....
My philosophy on selling / % Off when selling parts
If I know you ............50%
If I know you and like you ................ 50% & a free beer
If I know of you .................50%
If you know of me .............. 50% 2 beers
If you pretend you know of me ............ 75% "sorry, our toilets broken"
If I know and don't really like you ................ 50% "as is"
If I know you and really don't like you ......... 50% "perfect shape, it
worked when I pulled it"
If I know you and I know you don't like me...... 100% "I should keep that as
a spare"
If I know you and I think just came to see if my wife is wearing her
bikini..... 50% "let's go to the shop"
If I don't know you but you bring your dog ........................35% & a
free beer
If I don't know you and you bring you hot spouse ....... 25% hug like old
friends,6 pack on the deck
I don't know you and you bring your dog, err spouse ....... 50% "please
leave, I have to floss my teeth"
If you tell me you are going to ship the TR I'm selling to
Belgium............ 2 x $XXXX
If you tell me you are going to restore it to drive "in a French
accent"........2 x to 3 x $XXXX....
If you are going to fix it up so you can sell that piece of
@%&*............. 4 x $XXXX
If you state "these TR's break more than my old MG did" ............ 6 x
$XXXX

> Used Part - in same functional condition as new = 50-60%
> Used Part - generally functional but definitely used = 40-50% (may need
some
> minor refurbishment)
> Used Part - Needing repair to be functional = 33-40%
> Used Part - Needing complete restoration to be functional = 25-33%
> Used Part - Anything else = 0-25% (Don't ask me what this means)
