One big flaw in MFK... availability

[Retuks]

i had a second thought for you

perhaps the vendors are looking at this thread and are wondering if you as a customer might be more pain than gain

or maybe they as vendors hit some snags as that does happen

im sure they are thinking of the pain to gain ratio regardless. hence most sharp-edge business men ignore you if they make better profits elsewhere anyway (common demand principle).

Most will hardly go out of their way for someone with an everyday customer relationship with them, meaning they don't really know me anyway as a friend or repeat customer so why should they have this fish or even look for it for me? theres not much in it for them, really. this i know.

here is a tip: if you are looking for rare stock, dirty websites won't have it

lol well. by dirty i just mean "cheap looking". hard to read. full of Jpegs and vague (if any) details of poorly organized fish for sale with alot of the website thumbnails not even working anymore and probably a ghost shop. everything on the list is "OUT OF STOCK" except neons or something like that.

and my original point was that this fish isn't even rare. or, it shouldn't be. i wasn't trying to find it cause of its "rarity" at all. that wasn't the point.

WTF does experience with hot rods have to do with having one wrecked while your working?

Going through hell trying to find a wanted fish, and finally getting it is IMO one of the best parts about this hobby. If there's some thing you want, just put a wtb thread up in the market, and pm the vendors. If you persistent, and really want your fish, you will eventually get it.

I never answered this correctly. it goes like this. if you ever actually found a shell of a classic car and wanted to restore it, you would know what im talking about. the rarity of parts and knowing that EVERY time they crash, get crushed, deteriorate they become that much closer to being impossible to find/operate, and the inevitable event of there never being a replacement part in existence is always right around the corner.

say there are 50/150,000 Ford Boogers left in the world. 35 of them are rotting in garages or out on the side of the road somewhere and the other 15 are owned by grease monkeys and the wealthy. a gear head crashed one of them and we all cringe and feel for the owner because we know how difficult it was to get that.
