On the positive side, I am in a wonderful relationship after being alone for 3½ years. But that too takes time – which I am happy to give!
Anyway, thank you to everyone for their kind words and support over these many years. Here’s what I’m thinking:
– Phelon & Bendix coils are NLA, although I still have a supply.
– The best OMC coil (Prufrex) was discontinued over a year ago (I’m pretty much out of these, but still have the Sierra OMC coils).
– Overall coil sales have been dwindling.
– I got into coil sales over 20 years ago as a service to the club, and my goal is to continue that to the end. I didn’t lose money, but I didn’t make a killing either. Let’s just say that coil sales allowed me the luxury of buying an occasional Happy Meal at McDonalds. Anyway, I will not change my pricing to take advantage of these scarce coils, but I will limit quantities so everyone gets a chance to get some.
– I sold 98% of my collection last year. It’s time for others to enjoy these fine motors.
– No, I am not going to Tomahawk, although I will greatly miss the people and the camaraderie.
– I think I will throw in the towel and quit coil sales when I run out of my current inventory. Everything ends eventually. It’s time.
Again, many, many thanks to everyone who has supported me these many years!
Jim,
First of all I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m also sorry to hear you are getting out of selling coils. I do, however, understand. I’m happy that I got the chance to meet you last year at Tomahawk and also for everything you have done for the club and for so many members during the time you have done this. I have bought coils from you also and everything has been a pleasure. Thank you again also for the parts and stuff you left to me last year along with the motors I bought from you. I have gotten quite a lot of use out of that stuff as well as passed along a few items to other club members that needed something. Best of luck to you in everything. I’ll miss seeing you at Tomahawk this year as much as you’ll miss seeing everyone there. Hope to keep seeing you on the boards.
-Ben
