<VV> Greed WAS arrogance WAS tele column

You are assuming that a Corvair person would merely sit it on a shelf.
That's not my thoughts at all. The REAL question should be, "which is
worse, a Corvette guy buying that rare part and putting it on his car, or a
Corvair collector that would buy that same part to put it on his car?" THAT
is the crux of my arguement.

that same part to put in their collection, never to be used or even seen
again?  To me, that is real greed and I, in the past, have refused to sell
a couple of somewhat rare parts to a part collector.
