NC Royalty said this about petro parts vendors, "I guess I don't hate everyone that does rely on it, but those people aren't actually helping the "hobby" at all, they are just exploiting it and helping themselves. I'm not judging, but it is a fact. The business end of this wonderful pastime just sucks."
It sounds to me like you are negatively judging all vendors at once. Many vendors I have met are enthusiasts too. Without them, we would have a much harder time finding the items we want.
NC Royalty suggested earlier today that there should be a central place where gas pump parts could be stockpiled and distributed. Would we expect that person to haul them, store them, inventory them and provide all related services without an expectation of decent compensation?
