Subject: [MV] ARRRGH!
This is a perfect example of what I was talking about.
Here we have a seller who could be better connected to the MV community
IF there was a forum. and IF there was a central forum for disposing of
these he might not have been in such a hurry to dispose of them. He
might also have had a better idea as to what potential his trucks had if
sold as a whole, and if they had very little potential as a whole, what
their individual take-off parts were worth. Of course I acknowledge
that not every owner/seller has the mood or wherewithall to disassemble
his vehicles.
Now, in his haste to be rid of these he's in a 'take-it all, or take
nothing' mode with what seems to me to be fairly high prices that will
likely be a major stumbling block to getting them connected with the
hobby. The reality is that these hulks probably aren't in any real
condition to make a restoration financially feasable, but they possess
many parts that should be kept and distributed to the hobby.
So, here we are AGAIN. For lack of a central forum, a seller isn't able
to get connected with and adequately comprehend a market he's probably
unfamiliar with, and these trucks will probably end up going through the
shredder and lost forever. So, just from looking at his pics, our hobby
will have lost potentially rebuildable engines, drivelines, six 5-lug
combat rims, a Dodge winch bumper assembly, war dated split-ring rims,
Tulsa winches, tow hooks and other assorted and sundry pieces and parts.
Gone FOREVER.
One of you enterprising individuals with knowledge and skill of the
internet needs to be building a kick-ass website that will be THE NUMBER
ONE CENTRAL place to look for and offer MV take-off parts located within
the United States, with a sterling reputation or honesty and integrity,
that gives advice to sellers as to their vehicle's potental value as a
whole or in parts, and linked to EVERY MV-related site it can reach. We
NEED to get guys like Mister 6x6 and the hobbists together.
