Right. BUT, I'd also like to see a low-volume purchase option, where we (the
insane) could purchase any current parts which aren't availble in service packs
(or bulk purchase). This would be buying in small volumes, for a premium unit
price (hopefully south of AucZILLA prices, but not necessarily). This option
would require a high service charge, to address the extensive manual labor
required to collect and pack the parts.
