Yea I received one too. Did you check out his prices!!!
most things about double or triple of what I buy for. I've talked to him
once before ,seems like a nice guy though. I really can't see him selling
any parts at them prices. for example: tr10 gasket sets 96.95, I just
bought 3 for 10.00 apiece. piston set 272.95 how many you need for 125.00?
I know everybody has to make a living but their prices seem a little
extreme.
just my one an only opinion
