Personal Gain Retail Selling

[Guy Usher]

Hello,

I've only been on the list a few days now, so maybe I don't have all the
history of this debate, but I agree with Mike.  If I'm getting something I
want at a price that I like, it certainly doesn't bother me if someone makes
a little along the way.  Also, I most likely would never have known about
Mihnea's chip upgrade project if it hadn't been posted on the list.  Up to
this point, it's been cost prohibitive for me to even consider the chip
upgrades that I've found, and blindly searching for these things on the net
can take more time than I have available to search.  So I'm thankful that
the posting was there and that I was able to respond and get in on the deal.
Along with Mike, I too would rather send my money the way of a list member.
Maybe I'm too trusting, but then that's my problem.

This debate aside, I have so far found the list to be interesting and
helpful and I hope that somewhere along the way, I'll be able to provide
some useful input as well.

Let's get back to how we can keep our Audi's alive, on the road and going
strong. (Personally, I love stunning those overdressed, tricked out,
obnoxious sounding, huge spoiler toting, base model imports and domestics
when I leave them behind at a stoplight in my conservative looking 4 door
Audi!)
