Parts Prices, WTF?!

I have always had certain models, first were E bodies way way back,they 68-70 B bodes then.etc etc. I always was building projects so I was always on the lookout for extra parts I would need. That made sense. Then there were my "keepers" at that time. Reasonable to have extra parts and pieces for them, right?
I also come across parts cars, kept what I might need, so the rest. Helped pay for what I was working on. One day I woke up, and there ere parts out the yazoo! I was so glad when they all went away. Trips to Mopar Nats, other swaps, one day, I just gave a truck load to good Mopar bud. He came home from work, and a file of parts taller than his double garage doors to his shop!! That was the last of that stash! ha
