Question ?? said: (quoted from post at 12:49:36 06/23/10) I"m wondering what the price they paid for the salvage forklift has to do with the price of the parts?
I know where you are going with this and the answer is technically nothing.
I do not object to a company making a profit, if they didn't then they wouldn't be in business. What I do object to is someone trying to make an obscene profit based on the fact that some people who were not internet savvy might actually pay their price.
Guessing they wouldn't have paid more than $500 for the whole tractor. Can't see them spending any more than that. If he is selling the steering box for $1200 and lets say the engine for $2000, the tin work for $500-800, that to me is making an obscene profit. Salvage yards aren't exactly paying a premium price for the tractors they dismantle, in fact in many cases folks just want them out of their yard and have no use for them. Odds are with a simple newspaper add they could have got some money for them.
In addition to all this, I really don't see that steering box as being worth $1200, especially in used and unknown condition. New or rebuilt maybe but certainly not old and worn out.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
