Perhaps they get into this game because they love the old cars but later discover that they can make more money hawking good stuff but selling inferior goods..
I would not rest or even want my name associated with stuff that only "looks" like the original but was useless as presented.
You have to have some disposable income in order to have this hobby. I am sure most people would pay more for a part that actually works as well as the original instead of having to remake everything they buy which ends up costing more in the long run.
Pretty damn simple concept, word for word! But then, you have some of these folks that just want to kiss the ground these suppliers walk on, 'cuz SOME of their stuff that fits is better than nothin', right? Don't forget the one above that let's ya send the "almost fits" part back when ya ain't happy... IF ya pay the shipping, and don't forget the 10% re-stock fee. Other than that, new, great "stuff" is only an 800 call, or a click of the mouse away. DD
