Ho! Ho! Ho! Every time I post something for sale I see follow up post (from vendors) that warn about used parts or some body posts "I saw it on E-bay for less." Lets face it, there isn't a living to be made in used Vanagon parts. If you want to ban the sale of used parts or used vehicles then just tell Tom that you want to ban them. I watch the post from Chris and most of his prices are in line. If you want to bitch at Chris .............. take it to him on P-mail. If I ever screw somebody on either price or a bad part, I'd expect you to let me make it right before you told 2200 people I was a dead beat. Stan Wilder 83 Westfalia Air Cooled
