You'd be amazed the stuff I bought for an old British sports car that I recently sold. Especially when the parts are NLA.

I am restoring a '74 T/A and have searched E-Bay almost exclusively for parts. There is one guy (can't recall username right now) who sells nothing but rusted junk (screws, etc.) from T/A's that must have been pulled from the bottom of a muddy river. Every single piece is rusted or coated with dirt. You'd think he would take the time to clean the parts or throw 'em on a wire wheel. Nope. Nonetheless, 99% of his auctions end in no bids. :confused:

One mans junk....

If you look at his (the article seller) 'feedback history' you can see he is selling lots of them ...from 3 to 6 dollars a pop.

Interesting what people want.

I buy old magazines at estate sales and intend to do the SAME thing.;)

Old 'dirty' magazines?

Wow, my new career is sitting in my basement. Actually a clever idea for out of print stuff.
