    OK guys, I have gotten a more than a few e-mails about the stuff that I sell. It always seems to be about how I have so many of something or why I sell stuff so cheap. I've even had one that just said "dude, is the shit you sell stolen..." I kinda fell back a little when I got that one. So, just to give everyone piece of mind, Here's what I do...

    My bro-in-law owns a surplus store (mainly military, military vehicle, ammo, etc). He has a membership to a website that lists businesses and companies that have medium to large inventories that are closing. Whenever he sees that a place that sells aftermarket stuff for cars (electronics, performance parts, etc) he gives me a ring.

    This is where I give the person closing up shop a call, and see how they are getting rid of the stuff they have. If I think that there may be some good stuff there (and they're willing) I arrange to come see all that they have to offer. If there are any items I think someone could use...I start negotiating. A lot of times, I get good deals (Greddy cat-back for my cousin's 350z...100 bucks) SOmetimes I'll go somewhere 100 miles from home, and come back with nothing. Its hit and miss.

    The reason that I do this, honestly, is to help out anyone that wants to mod....but has a very limited budget. I know all too well what it's like to have plans for modding....but have very little spare cash. It sucks. period. It may not be the brand you want, or the most popular...but its a start.

    I do NOT make a lot of money selling to you guys. Example:: The pedal covers I'm selling. I bought a case of 10 sets for 50 bucks. When I ship these, It cost right around 7 bucks each set. So, cost of the set + shipping = 12 bucks. I sell them for 15 bucks and make 3 bucks off of them. Actually, I make less than that....since I spent about 15 bucks in fuel to get them.

    I know that this was a long post, But I felt that a lot of you guys just didn't trust me....and I wanted to answer the question of "how." I've been there...hell, with two kids and a wife that just spent 150 buck getting her hair done..I'm still there. I 'm just trying to help you guys out with the resources that I have at my disposal.
