You don’t think $20 for a 50 cent cup of coffee is worth it but you’re not the majority anymore.
Apparently you don't know how the free market works because you're still babbeling on and on about nothing other than, 'the price isn't fair'.

The problem with your scenario is coffee isn't going anywhere, any time soon.

Certain parts for these cars are NOT in production any more. Meaning the market will dry up. When the market starts running dry, price goes up.

Why can't you comprehend this?

Most (all?) of your comments are implying that every part being sold is still in production and that everyone is selling it for above retail just because they are trying to take advantage.

Aero bumper prices went up because supply went down.

Kouki180sx lip prices went up because supply went down.

Kakume brick prices went up because supply went down.

S13/S14/AE86 prices went up because supply went down.

Prices are high because people know how scarce certain things are getting. Thus increasing desire and willingness to pay more.

Why should we chastise the seller when the buyer is willing to purchase for asking?

I want a nice car, so it is up to me, and nobody else what I think a part is worth, and what that value is to me.
