listen, there's no need to get defensive. You don't know when i bought the shims and therefore you don't know how common or un-common they were at the time. The reason I bought them at the time (this is before the Internet) is because if I did need one, I did not know if I would be able to find them again. The fact that you sold Chevrolet starters for years and the fact that this is the first time you heard of a Ford starter shim, sounds like evidence that I wasn't exaggerating. Nor did I have any intent on getting rich from the sale of starter shims. As far as I'm concerned, I would sell them for what I paid..which is lower than what you found on your google search, given the fact that I've never used one and since apparently I'm the only one who knows they exist, the demand is extremely low. I realize almost no one enjoys to be told they are mistaken...to those I say "You must be Jesus. I did not know you returned. We need to know what kind of wood is your favorite because you know what we do with you perfect ones. Or are you human and therefore don't know everything and will make mistakes until the day you die?"
