Hmmm, that's interesting.
I do business with GPR all the time and didn't know they sold used parts. BTW, they normally beat Pelican on price. Have fun, Kevin |

I would hope that there is mutual respect between Wayne and Dave...they probably go back a long ways...and they both love and support the 914.
I didnt know GPR had used 914 parts either. But I know Pelican doesn't offer used parts anymore, so I don't really see the issue or conflict. If Daves ad brings folks to Pelicans website...thats good for both of them...They are really offering two different things, and they both support the 914, which is good in my book anyday. Now if GPR were offering the same parts as Pelican in this ad that would be way different... It is a gutsy move though you gotta admit... |

others have been chided for doing the same thing, sort of. it's the "used" parts. in a back handed manner they would not be competing for "new" part sales. on dave, he was VERY co-operative on the valance deal. dave sent a return slip on their nickel. i've had a number of instances where that was not the case.
