I am a hobbyist, I am not out to make money, especially on other people that
share the same hobby as me. By the same token, Rallye I am sure has not
purchased some of these items for a while, they have been sitting on their
shelves, guess those parts are gonna have to sit their a little longer. I
can tell you that parts I have sold have been at a fair price, I know that
those on the list that have bought from me will vouch for that.
its not about the top dollar for my hobby
