at a swap meet selling you have a part for sale say for 100 dollars and a stroke walks up and offers 40 bucks i reply by saying 120... the look and confusion they go thru is pricelss when they assume you will meet them somewhere between the offer they made and your asking price ...big suprise when you start going the other direction with the price.
warning ....sometimes this will make a stroke mad enough you might want to have a knuckle sandwich ready for them to choke on

I am presently searching for a track only car. Myself and friends search racing junk daily. There are many people who use such sites to find cars and parts. The post regarding driver height is a good one, travelled a fair ways to sit in a Vega that was far too small for me. I am 6'2" tall and the seller kind of "fudged" his height,in an attempt to sell his car quickly. When I sold my last drag car, March of this year, the buyer requested a title which I was able to provide. I too had a number of inquiries as to whether or not it could be put back on the street. Unfotunately we must realize that while we love racing there is certainly a much bigger market for "pro street" or dual purpose cars. Just my.02 cents a they say. Have a good one.
