Like Mike and others here that do this for pay, I keep at least three or four parts sets all the time. After 30 years of building I learned about waiting a long time ago. It seems pretty much everyone on here that has been around realizes this. What I took issue with ,is when a newcomer on this site posts something on this site, { and you can tell by the number of posts} having someone jump square in the middle of his back over it. The one that was giving this guy down the road was `nt the one that had been waiting six monthes for a barrel. We all need to understand that the newcomer is more important to the survival of this sport than any one that wants to ride their high horse about question asking. If we sit around and let the few people that do show interest be treated like $#*& then , go figure why it fails. I realize that we are BLESSED to have the suppliers that we have but, maybe on their part if they CLEARLY told people up front about any parts not available , backorders , etc. The buyer may go a different route. I understand that they may loose a sale but it would prevent a lot of frustration. I recently ordered some stuff from a supplier and got about half my order . I WAS NOT told at the time of the order that the parts were out of stock. This is called deception . So I sent the whole order back . This is a two way street both parties need to be proactive.
