| Op/Ed: |
|
How did I get such great stuff? I practiced the
following; I can always go earn more money next month, next
year, etc., but I can't recreate a missed opportunity to buy a rare part.
There will always be mechanics, but there will not always be original parts
available. It's that simple. If you see it, and you don't have one, buy
it. Buy it before they are all gone, or the prices skyrocket. Example,
a couple years ago my local body shop was charging $65/hr and I was selling
rifle racks for $65. Today my body shop still charges $65/hr. But now rifle
racks are selling for $200! Where am I better off spending
my money? Which has the better return on my investment? When you
run out of things to buy, that's when you should pay for labor/services,
or better yet, fix it yourself. |
