Getting a bit off topic but I'll chuck in my 2c worth... Shows like american pickers and the like have a lot to answer for, I don't ask a mint for parts it's more about helping people out and making contacts for other bits. I'm pretty stone faced nowadays, quibble over a few bucks or ask me what my best price is and I'll add fifty bucks, you should see the look on peoples faces, theres been plenty of awkward moments standing there on the driveway, 'take it or leave it'...
