JHSS-1944, exactly as You say things are over priced and Steve being a businessman was so smart to buy all the parts from the late Tom Krahl....
So for the moment there is Dave Berten that still uses fair prices and good service and I think from the day Dave stops....
Steve Squires will buy it all and raise the over priced stuff another time
He really thinks he's the only one left in the world with antique slot machine parts and carries the prices that way.
Another business strategy from Steve could be: Raise Your price so high that You don't get buried with "cheap customer demands" and only get the Rich & Wealthy people at your doorstep!!
You want it, You pay for it....if not, bye bye
