Parting out bla bla bla bla 1200+ replies?

I'm trying to understand the logic to a non-commercial posting that has for sale and wanted items with over 1200 replies. Can someone explain this to me?

Exclamation

Exactly. Is it really that big of a deal?

Thumbs up

call all the MB parts houses and ask for some obscure relay for a 78 MB and see how lucky you get, just be happy we have someone doing what he is doing, theres no fortune to be made in selling used parts. It just makes his part of the hobby less expensive, Im sure its just a hobby, I used to pick up parts I didnt need while searching the PNPs, its just too much trouble for too little return to be anything else..... he doesnt spread it over a hundred posts and if you look most are requests for parts. Just ignore that one post if you want, eventually you will need something you cant get anywhere else, what then?

Based on what I paid for the engine parts he got for me and what it must have cost to ship them, I can tell there was little room for profit margin and certainly nothing commensurate in any way for the time he spent. He'd make more money working at WaWa if that is what he's after.

OK. Noted.
In general, a thread that has 1200 replies seems more like a public-viewable message account rather than a discussion area. But it's fine with me.
