Keep in mind that we're talking about a *used* part (if they're new, he
could just return them to where he got them, couldn't he?).  If you'll
pay new prices for used equipment, do let me know.  I can probably
acquire a lot of it at 'used' prices and sell it to you at 'new' prices
and make a killing.

If someone is going to get 'insulted' at low offers, they should
specify a price in their ad.

[And if you need to change a catalog to change your prices, you
shouldn't be posting in .forsale groups.]
