I'm not really interested in getting into a debate. The issue here is simple. Someone wanted to know what a 4.6L from a Range Rover would cost. Now, Marty, a man who probably sells more 4.6L's in a year than most people own new cars in a lifetime, responded. He gave a price based on numerous previous sales, a knowledge of the going rate for parts that few have and the fact that he actually had the part in question on hand. In two posts, Keanan mentioned one transaction, years ago, where he stumbled onto a particularly good deal. Yes, it happens, sometimes, not ALL the time. It's like right now someone on eBay may be selling a part that would normally sell for significantly more. That seller may need the cash, maybe doing it as a one time thing, may be pissed off at the Land Rover he thought would be great but cost him tons of money in repairs. Whatever the reason, does one person, selling something significantly below what others are charging make that the new, defacto price?
"I paid $1800 for a 4.6 once." I'll say it again, I "once" paid $500 for a running Range Rover Classic LWB. Does that mean that's the new price for running LWB's? If fact, if someone were asking for the current rate for LWB's would my comment on "once" buying one for $500 have any bearing at all on the discussion other than boosting my post count?
Like I said, I'm not interested in a debate on the issue. You guys can continue amongst yourselves.
