Marty, personally I don't mind "paying for it" as long as it's an honest, fair, and maybe a somewhat inflated price. However, I refuse to be taken advantage of and that is exactly what happens in some cases. You have folks wanting restored prices for a vehicle needing full restoration. I'm sure you know that drill.
But then there are folks with more money than they have sense. I refuse to be gouged.
But, as in all cases, a fair price is what someone will take and what someone will give as long as both parties are happy!
