[Milsurplus] parting rigs

[Military1944 at aol.com]

Well, I'm amazed at the number supporting selling rigs in bits rather than  
as a whole. 
 
Personally  I think it stinks. Obviously if one has set and psu then  to buy 
just the lead is great for them, but what about the poor sod who has just  
bought the guys set and psu. Here you are coming along and buying the lead from  
under his nose. Of course your going to pay over the odds for the lead, its 
all  you want, let the other silly sod buy the set and psu, why would he want 
the  lead after all ? 
 
I for one would rather buy the whole kit, take out what I needed to  complete 
the set here then sell on the extra bits, as just that, extra bits. 
 
I would not bemoan anyone selling a set, a psu, a lead, a valve that all  
just happened to be for the same type of set, its when the guys advert for his  
set clearly, and somewhat proudly, states 'I have the psu for this set  which 
I'm selling separately, along with the spares separately,  the handbook, the 
mic, the fuse cap etc etc'. 
 
The game of splitting stuff not only panders to the greedy seller but to  the 
lazy lead buyer and perpetuates the ever increasing  timely and costly  
search process. I for one will not split any items I dispose off,  not  unless I'm 
offered a load of cash of course !!
 
cheeri pip, Ben.
