I totally agree.
That's the same way I feel about the bananas at the grocery store.
They haven't done anything to the bananas but bring them to my store and ask more for them than they paid.
Every time I want a banana I tell them I will only pay what they paid for the banana plus one bananas worth of shipping to the store. |

i don't wanna pay the farmers any more than it cost to grow the bananas. all they did was sit there while the bananas grew. the sun, soil and tree did all the work.

Complaining about high prices is funny. Do you go down to the beach and throw stones and shout at the guy who has a awesome house right on the sand because you can't afford it or don't like what you'd have to give to make it yours? Sure, you can, but he'll just laugh at you while he enjoys his hookers and coke while watching the sunset from his living room.

Thats BS.
without people who are looking for a profit or in it to make money then there would be no buses for the Brits to buy and put rock 'n roll beds in. no one is going through the pain in the ass of pulling vehicles out of barns, fields, and back woods to just break even. |
like I said mate two camps I,m not saying one camp is right and one is wrong just that each camps goals are different I use my job to make money and enjoy my hobby others use VW,s |
Nonsense. one camp doesnt exist without the other.

i bought a 54 kombi recently. i tried to buy this exact same bus about eight years ago. i lost out then. someone was willing to pay full price for it while i thought there was room for negotiation.
a few months ago it came up for sale. the seller had done nothing to it. hadn't even driven it. it sat in a pole barn all that time without moving. even had flat tires. i got the bus. how? i told the seller i would pay him what he was asking and sent him the money.
