Lost post re: S/H parts dealer!

[Oldmogman]

A member recently posted the web address of a supplier of second-hand Minor parts, and commented on the prices being reasonable. I meant to make a note of the details but now I can't find the original post!

Anyone else recall it? Or perhaps the original poster is reading this?!

Thx all!

What is it you require maybe put an ad in the wanted section

Brian....
But I would not use them..!!!!

Thanks Brian - that's the one!

But why wouldn't you use them? Have you had a bad experience with them, or is it because there's no contact details listed?

cheers

hi Oldmogman,
my be you will have more success contacting them. If so, please tell us how you did it

Be very wary of any organisation that has no phone number - or doesn't answer. You will get much better value for money by asking for the parts you need here - in the 'wanted' section - and also check the 'for sale' section. A 'parts dealer' will certainly be marking up their prices to make a profit - and who knows - maybe they are breaking up Minors - that may not always have been legally obtained....

Just to be clear, nobody is suggesting that there is anything wrong with a dealer marking things up to make a profit, that's what every trader will do if they are going to stay in business; and I'm sure that Roy is not suggesting any lack of legality in this case. However, as a general point the warnings are well made and worth heeding.
