[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 313157, member: 7449"] If you take your vehicle to a garage and have it serviced and it requires a new distributor cap, should the garage be allowed to make a profit from it? Should that same garage install the same distributor cap if you bring it yourself? Do you take your own fillet to the steak house for the cook to grill up for you? The bottom line gents is a full time gunsmith working from a storefront is there to make a profit. He has a family, he has bills, and he has to survive just like everyone else. That being said there is a big difference between charging a reasonable fee and then trying to rip someone's head off. That time invested on the phone, researching, shipping, receiving, inventorying, and paying the outside vendors has to be absorbed somehow. In ten years I've yet to see a gunsmith driving a R/R or living in a 7 figure estate. Enough said. [/QUOTE]
