[AJD] OT Opinions on buying parts

[Frank]

I bought 9 lead washers the other day.....but they came 25 to a pkg....never 
blinked....I will use them ........always someone else wants those.....I'll 
make a buck or two on the deal........my dealer will want some back......he 
has before....and I sell to him as fast as I buy from him
.


I agree with Dean in this one....
