I guess I will throw in my
I have given away numerous things over the years. I also have been told I don't charge enough to people when I sell parts or labor.
I am usually broke to show for it,and can't blame a guy when he charges for a part.
To expect someone to give a part just because someone is in need just comes off wrong to me. I am one of the last guys to ever borrow something and would fully plan on having to pay for something I need. I do believe fully in racers helping racers,but sometimes a business has to be run like a business.
