I think what it comes down to is that people who have been into this hobby for any length of time have become so sick of the crap that is being produced and not having any other options than to buy this crap and being unhappy with it.

I think that maybe to some degree this may be starting to turn around a little bit. The best example of this would be the console top I bought from Ames. It was expensive, BUT, if you guys could see and feel this thing in person, you would not even beleive that it is a repop part. It is so heavy, in fact, it's heavier than the original. However, this is only one part of hundreds that I have bought over the years so there is a long way to go.

I think esahlin truly has an opportunity to do something with this. If I wasn't about to be homeless I'd think about something like this myself, at least for now anyway while I still have some vision left. But I wouldn't steal someone's idea like that anyway...
