Re: NOS Parts?

I believe its about how obsessed with the hobby you get. I used to work with a guy who spent most of his off time gathering Honda motorcycle parts. Everyone he met would get questions about if they knew of any bikes. He would go to library's to look in old phone books for defunct dealerships and when he found one he would spend days trying to contact the old owners or their families to try and locate a lost pile of parts. This has lead to a certain extent the higher prices that are being asked for parts. They feel that the fact they have a hundred hours into locating some part they should get paid for that time, even though no one asked them to.
Okay done with the soap box.
