<VV> Corvette vs. Corvair

[rbuckridge at comcast.net]

The Corvette vs. Corvair argument is also a two way street. 

A friend of mine met a guy who was selling a lot of NOS Corvair parts. When he inquired as to the price of the Corvair items, he got the "make me an offer on the package lot" as a reply. My friend made him a low ball offer to see where the guy stood and figured the bargaining would now start. To his surprise, the guy said, "sold". 

They completed the deal and as my friend was about to leave, the seller informed him that all the parts came out of a dumpster. He had been dumpster diving for Corvette parts at a recently closed dealership and also pulled out the "other" NOS parts thinking that someone would be interested. 

The seller placed NO VALUE on the Corvair parts and would have let ALL the parts go for ANY offer, as all he really wanted was the Corvette parts. So here is a time where the Corvair guys benefited from the Corvette guys.
