Re: [a/s] Help with possible purchase
You know what? ...several people pooling together could make a lot of
money..opening an A/S Parts House...!
I recently was checking out the litte Tambour door Spice Rack that I removed
from my Excel, just to find out how much it goes for.
A/S International does NOT sell them anymore! they are not available! period!
I called the N.W. A/S Dealer, and they confirmed that...but said they had ONE
a while back that someone had found...and they wished they had gotten a
carload b/c it sold in a FLASH! They had a $65 price on it..and the buyer
didn't even flinch! So, parts are hard to find. I would just 'put it out
there' Someone must have one of those couches in good shape, maybe in an A/S
that's NOT... or they just have one in a garage somewhere. I found out a
good way to re-cover them is by having a "FUTON" dealer repad it with a
cotton cover. Then cover it yourself (or have an upholsterer do it) with the
upholstery fabric of your choice.
Oh..........man (or woman) I wish I had the property and the capital to start
an A/S "parts" / 'Junk' store!
Or......why can't this group do it as far as an inventory listing is
concerned...? Then, we could just sign on and pull the (daily updated) list
down and scan it over and see who's screen name to contact for the item
interested in. ??
Crazy idea?
Hunter........?
Is this already done?
Would it be too much work?
Could it be done?
Just a thought!.....................cc
