I have a difficult conundrum......

A classic car restorer has contacted me to ask if I have any bits for sale - Mk1 steering column, heater and rear quarterlight frames, windows, piano hinges and catches.
However I know that they will be used to restore a car that belongs to the godfather of my eldest son (ergo a good mate).

How much do I charge him, bearing in mind 1. they don't make these parts anymore and 2. I am now without spares in the event of an mishap/accident?

can't you just offer them to him direct?

Tim, You could just say that you need these parts for the reason you describe and refer him to another supplier, like that one in Sheffield

.. or stick 'em on Ebay and ask him to bid .

Pretty straight forward, if you need 'em (or predict you will) keep 'em. If you don't - sell 'em to your mate direct at 'mates rates'.

Simples.

Well I say that, I did that with a load of stuff many years ago to a 'mate' , very cheap and low and behold months later the bits turn up in a 'for sale' advert in the back of a magazine.

Safe to say words were had.
