Quoted from iceman44:I'm quoting the guy.....wtf.......he's great, awesome, whatever, to say its not about the money or "investment" is stupid and leaves YOU f*cking clueless.....along with your buddy Gerry...
I don't know what's wrong with you people....who the f*ck do you think you are, really, myself and many others who pay big money to buy new pins and fix old ones.....to say have "nothing" to do with this hobby is a JOKE....I will say and contribute whatever the hell I want to and the rest of you ignorant dips shits can go jerk each other off.....and who the f*ck are you?
This is the quote from Chris.....If i remember you said you were "QUOTING HIM"
"You are wrong about the games that are restored (7/8)and the people they are typically done for(rich)The. Majority of people I deal with are not concerned about investment nor am I.Not sure why you think you would know more about my business than I do but you are wrong.
I provide a service it isn't about marketplaces or values."
Gee ? I dont see the word MONEY in there...I see "INVESTMENT"...
Of course Chris does this for the money, ya I'll quote you now.."DIPSHIT"...
Its his JOB !
The people that have Chris do their games, want a nice, or should i say PERFECT game..
Yep, alot of them will probably be and are BURIED in them, if INVESTMENT was their goal, but thats not why they are having Chris do their games...
They want it how they want it, better than new...so they can play it and enjoy it...have something nice...
and you dont have to be rich either.....SAVE YOUR ALLOWANCE !
Skilled trade..COST'S MONEY...LOTS OF IT.. Ice, do you even know waht paint materials cost today...i just spent 3k on paint for a 66 Fairlane....2 gallons of base coat, 1 gallon of reducer, 1 1/2 gallons of urethane clear w/ hardner, 2 gallons of reface, 1 gallon of self etching primer, and 1 1/2 gallons of urethane primer... 3K .....not alot for 3K..
Shit ....the tires on my bus were 3K and that was a deal !
There are a handfull of guys...IF THAT, that can do this kind of detailed restoration, on a pin, or should i say that are CRAZY enough to do it..it is wicked back breaking and intense work..
Chris should, and does, get ASS tons of money for doing it,...
But his total point was, he isnt doing this for guys so they can flip the game and make money...that meaning that INVESTMENT is not a factor with Chris...or the client...
What is a factor for him is that, he give a 110% machine back to his customer...
and his customers want that quality, and are smart enough to realize if they want it ...they have to pay for it....
they want a perfect machine...no matter if they sell it later on and lose or not...they dont care..
they want what they want... DO WHATEVER IT TAKES...I WANT IT MINT!
If by now you cant understand this from the "QUOTE" of Chris's i posted above...and realize what he is saying..
THEN YOU WILL NEVER GET IT!
