Re: karma
I've given away parts I didn't need for the cost of shipping and with no added cost for packing etc. I've also been on the receiving end of free or dirt cheap parts from fellow Barn'rs and members over on the HAMB as well. I've also sold parts and shipped them before the check cleared and I've never been burned. Through the Barn I've developed friendships with members I've never met but who have gone out of there way to assist me. One member from Colorado drove a considerable distance to inspect, pick up, and ship a set of EAB heads that another Barn'r sold me. Maybe I've just been lucky but I like to think that most of us that are in this because we enjoy it and are decent and trustworthy. Like Joe from Joe's Antique Auto told me when he called because my credit card on file had expired "don't worry, I already shipped your parts because old car people are honest". One of the many reasons Joe is my go to guy for parts but that's for a different thread.
