I was being sarcastic!!!! Couldn't you tell? I buy
stuff from Chris all the time. Of course it's used.
I just think it's funny how some people expect list
vendors to be like multi national corporations that
happen to sell used volkswagen parts and want service
like you might expect to get paying dealer prices, but
never get there either.
