Ripping apart a MINT radio (I've been watching this guy for months - he had
a MINT SB-303 back a few months ago) is absurd. Defend it all you like. I still think it's just plain profiteering and destroying a limited resource. Maybe those who think this is right will allow hunting of bald eagles too.... "Lou" wrote in message ... And the next time you write to my personal E-MAIL, leave a valid address for my reply. Share your comments with the group. Yes, maybe he is trying to put food on his table. No one would knock him for that. Just seems a bit odd to tear apart "working" units. That is all I think anyone is trying to say. There are reasons, I've had them as I've alluded to... It just seems to by pass common sense though - in many cases. Lou wrote in message ... Parts are always worth more then the hole try buying a car a piece at a time. jakdedert wrote: Lou wrote: Not that I agree with stripping a "working" unit apart to sell the parts, but I have seen cases where an item was "close" to working condition, but to put money into it to get it to work was more expensive than had the person stripped it and sold it for parts - as the parts for that particular unit were hard to find and not necessarily cheap. The only time I've stripped working items to sell parts from, is if I could not sell it whole, or it was too expensive to ship and I found people interested in buying the parts. I did quite well that way. Maybe this guy "feels" he can make more parting it out than it is worth! This guy may have an axe to grind.. Maybe he doesn't like Ham and this is his revenge - or as another stated, his therapy. Who knows what may be the driving force...... I can understand the emotion. Seeing something perfectly good ripped apart sets my teeth on edge as well. I guess we all have to console ourselves with the idea that those parts will go on to make any number of 'not working' sets 'perfectly good' again...although given an option, I'd think that an original--not cobbled together with parts from donor sets--would be worth more. jak Lou "JOE" wrote in message etnews.com... Maybe you would prefer he have to apply for a government permit before he could disassemble it. Wow! Only 3 posts before the looney toons start showing up! |
