No Comment!, heck with it. Maybe Walmart can start selling farm parts. All us parts guys do is gouge you when you come in for parts. Why should we discount our parts, we aren't the ones setting the profit margin. When a custmer comes in on a regular basis and buys alot I don't mind giving him a break. Then you have the guy that special orders everthing, waits 3 weeks to pick it up, then brings it back 30 days later opened and wants a refund. There are lots of good custmers out there but you will always have the few that make it hard for the others. I don't think a day goes by that someone asks "if I dont need it can I return it". I enjoy it when I get calls for the old stuff. It's nice to know whats out there for old iron. Most are glad when we can find that old part for his 1940 M or H. Sometimes we find them parts on the locator, or other places. I can't speak for all parts people but if you come in and treat us like a friend I asure you will get treated like a friend to. When I'm having a rough day and someone gets nasty with me I will just smile and say yes sir, no sir and I just have no idea how the price of that part went up. That my friends is what is known as lip tax. caseman-d
