> I would like to add Jack of Jack's Govt. Surplus as a parts source for MV

> limited basis for over 20 years. He is primarily a MV builder and as such
> would rather sell whole vehicles rather then parts. His prices are a
> little higher then a lot of other suppliers, however, he has been fair
> and he does have the stuff. Pricing MVs and their parts must be difficult
> for dealers. They have to be able to stay in business and often bid and
> buy stuff that they can't sell for years. They are hit with all kinds of
> taxes, insurance and hassles from various goverment agencies and then
> expected to deliver the '$300 Jeep' we have all seen in the ads. I am
> gratefull for all of the surplus dealers who can stay in business. They
> also have to make a profit, so when one prices an item, check the item
> out, ask around for comparison and depending on how badly you want or
> need the item, pay the price or keep shopping. There are a lot of good
> dealers out there and unfortunatley a few bad apples. I have never been
> ripped off by Jack in Tucson, although at times thought I was paying too
> much. I am the kind of guy who likes to hold a part in my hand and give
> the seller cash, that way I know what I am getting and where. We all have
> to sometimes take a chance with some dealers we don't know about. We have
> all seen on this forum examples of both. If someone has a beef about Jack
> in Tucson, let me know as I now recommend him as a fair and honest dealer
> who is perceived as having higher prices. But as far as that goes,
> today's higher prices are tommorrow bargains. If and when you should
> call him, please mention Dave from Flagstaff, he might give me a break on
> some M715 parts I want! I have no other connection with the business.
