I agree with Smitty, this guys letter sounds like sour grapes to me. Over
the years I have run into quite a few people that have been looking for
various NOS parts. Very few of these people wish to pay what they are worth.
Our vendors have a fairly good supply as well, all depends what you want to
pay. This I think is the problem, most people think these parts should be
sold to them for "give away" prices. As a person that has been into Vairs
for quite some time, I have picked up a few items for a decent price in
case I need them in the future. Why should I not hoard them for my own use?
Or if I want to sell, why shouldn't I get a fair price?

Sounds like the guy is plain cheap to me............
