So, yeah. way overpriced. I'm halfway though the 18 page thread. Very interesting.



Who has done an IMS change (New Oil Fed Design Idea) - Page 9 - Pelican Parts Forums

But was he trying to run a business? Or just kicking out a few on the side as an enthusiast?

My 986 trailer hitch: I had many people contact me, asking if I'd make one for them. I told them all no: there's always inferred liability, which means I'd have to line up all of my ducks in neat little rows. Ultimately, to do it as a business, with such a limited customer base, you'd have to pay me nearly $3k to make it make any sort of sense at all. But I built mine for about $250

I'm not disparaging what somebody decides to charge for their product. Rather, I'm disparaging someone who exploits a way over exaggerated failure and the accompanying fear, and then tells everyone that nobody else is smart enough to do it..... or even install his product.... and then all of his minions climb aboard and point fingers and throw rocks at people who decide to try their own path.
