[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Junkyard Gremlin

["gremlintyme" <pdgable@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Steph,
I have to drive 60 miles(30 miles each direction) to get these cranks from the car in the 
junkyard. I will have to pay $4 for each crank to the junkyard plus gas going and coming. I 
don't want to rip you off but it just doesn't make sense for me to do this(especially with 
today's gas prices.) Wait a minute. This just in!!  I just checked Ebay!! Look at this auction

This set of window cranks is going for $76!! The AMC market has just gone nuts. This is 
nothing though. There was a person who paid $100 for the hose that goes from the Air 
cleaner to the valve cleaner on a 70 to 74 AMC Six cylinder. You can pick this up for $25 at 
American Parts Depot. BTW they sell new window cranks there for $25/each. I always 
thought that price was kind of steep but I guess it is actually a bargain. Anyway. if you 
want the cranks. How does $10/each sound? Figure $4 for shipping?
Thanks
Paul
