As written by someone without the courage to post their name in the last forum...
"Those that give into this robbery and pay or freely give that much for a pair of fenders do many of us a great injustice!"
Let's see now, just how does it do an injustice to the non-buyers when someone pays for an item?
"But of course I know that many are of a unconscionable mindset and will vehemently argue that old capitalist propaganda of:
"Its the law of supply and demand", to justify their real reason for asking so high a price - GREED!"
The basic laws of economics are not 'propaganda' they are laws, and as such, although I suppose your mind has been weakend by socialist mush and you will not comprehend this, if the price is too high, nobody will buy them and the price will come down. If the price is fair, buyers will beat a path to his door. The sad truth is, the DEMAND is low for our type of products and the SUPPLY is expensive, therefore th erisk to anyone undertaking such a venture is very high. I hardly think it is greed to want to make enough to break even and feed one's family. What complete garbage that anyone who believes in capitalism is evil, you are sad indeed!
" Above and beyond what is reasonable or fair for the average person to acquire."
This is socialist PAP! We are not talking about food and shelter here, we are talking about a luxury comodity. And for that matter, I have met Power Wagon Folks from Sea to Shining Sea, and without downgrading them, I think that they are ALL the 'average' person, and to go one better they are the 'Salt of the Earth'. It is their decision as to what they think is reasonable and fair, not yours. Your rights are to NOT buy, you are free to lament about the cost of things, but the extent of that anti-American dribble may just mean that you are a whinny leftist that is working for $8 an hour at Burger King and has no desire or ambition to attempt to use our great capitalist system to make something of yourself. Whatever happened to working hard and saving for something worth having? The democrats are not always going to be around to give you a handout, or a free Power Wagon, get off of your butt and make something of yourself.
There, I feel better! The views expressed here are NOT the views of the Forum Management, just my take on things after sitting at home for 4 weeks recovering from cancer surgery, on my own dime, with no disability insurance or state aid. I am my own nanny, and if I had a WDX-WM300 I'd be all over those fenders, Daves bedsides, Dennis Sherman's parts and all the other neat stuff that many, many of the great Forum members here contribute to our hobby!
And NO Tim, I know that wasn't you...= )
