Good move since reconditioning factory rod (and other parts) is time consuming and expensive making it hard to recoupe the money (and make a few sheckles) on the time and effort to do the work.
Actually, I would make more profit on this one if I used factory rods, just the cost of the bolts and the cores, plus my labor. Putting in new rods, just makes it go together quicker, and its easier to ballance. But I dont really make any markup on the rods..
