But seriously actually I do, I am now.Like I say I do sympathise with your position. Knowing the business is out there if only people would stop fannying about on forums and pick up the phone, plus those people would be better off too.
Plus the Internet drives up prices on certain parts with fake rarity. Look at those people making a packet on Ford RS 7-spokes, charging £500+ for a set of wheels you can get from Ford for £350.

which is like you say the correct price and these bastards on ebay are selling them for a lot more and saying you can't buy them new when you can!

i cant be arsed reading all of this thread because of the bits ive read , its either " i cant make any money anymore" or "im not making it easy enough anymore"
its quite simple , if you cant make teh money - change jobs , if money isnt coming easy enough - find something else to do - SIMPLE
the worlds supplies are going to dry up , happens with everything eventually - who cares ? i dont - i have a cossie , but unlike other i wont be getting ripped off for parts at top dollar i will find something else to use or make something or wait until the right part comes a long at the right price , and 9.99 times out of 10 it will and it will more than likely be on the internet because you can find / do anything without wasteing my time having to go looking for it out on the road or by the phone

must be getting thin on the ground now, and is it 10 yrs befor the dealers stop stocking parts or 15 pete?
Trim ... Wiring ... Carpet ... then on to Sheet Metal and Mechanical parts.
Presently, we are on the very edge of availability for Sierra Saph/2WD & 4WD
Also Escort Mk4 .. and Mk5 parts (as above )
Other week, I had to bring some Cossie Caliper seal sets in from Denmark .. some of the last around.
Take a tip from me .. If you want to keep a Focus .. Dont!

4, take piccs of all the parts
5, place adds of every item on e/bay
6, watch items for another day
7, wrap all items
8, fill in paperwork to courier company
just so people loke MWF
can smack a button and pay over the net without getting of there arse to even post a letter pisses me off
Im sorry if its to much to expect you to call for prices etc and then God forbid you even may have to write a cheque for the goods and actually go and post it ,,how rude of me to expect sutch a massive effort from you
I bet you want the parts sent to the garage that will be fitting them for you aswell because who would expect you to get dirty fitting these parts when you can e/mail the garage , get them to collect , fit the parts and return the car to you while you sit at your desk ,,
Doyou also get a mate to drive it for you aswell

i.e The manifold is £100, its in good condition, been used for 2 years, no cracks etc, came off a 90 plate rs turbo, and will fit on all rs turbos. I have the item in stock , it can be with you next working day from when you order , postage is £10 , so your overall cost is £110. We accept all major debit and credit cards or you can also pay by cheque or bank transfer.
One reply mate they got all the info they need. Not having a go , but just saves you getting pissed off having to answer loads of emails to the 1 person about the same thing. By the way that was just an example

I cant say your wrong ,,but my point is ,,I dont want to sell my parts through e/mail If i am 100% honest i dont reply to many as when i have been at it for 10 hours that day i just cant be bothered to reply to e/mails ,, The reason for this is because i hardly ever give a reply to e/mails about parts then actually sell to that person ,90% of people who mail me never buy ,, And dont bother saying this is bullshit because if i found it to be a good way to sell i would have more time for people who mail me but sadly most are time waisters that are at work with nothing else to do than pester people like me ..
People think i have about 10 men working for me and i just sit at the computer all day waiting for e/mails etc
ANYWAY , We are of topic again

the problem with you as in traders in that you say 'bodge a part together like you can for an old track car' - your right , i for one wouldnt use the cossie parts as in theyve already failed in the 1st place so you have to "bodge" together a better part to replace the broken/bent on you take off. and because your profit margins decrease then you have to try and justify an increase in prices to keep your margins so the job is worthwhile doing - its business i know
if it isnt paying then up your prices - i wouldnt pay what i call extosionate amounts for std part as there just not worth it - there are 6 times out of 10 other parts that are available that will do the job equally as good that just dont say "COSWORTH" on them made by the same people
