We do not salvage just little bits, we mainly save the giant parts, the littles are just an after thought and as the creative people involved in the Steampunk Forums gave a resounding tallyho to the offerings I felt it my duty to respond in kind.

I’m not trying to make a profit off of these pieces, rather I’ve held on to them because I couldn’t bare to throw them away. I’m charging the minimum that makes it viable. They are original, unique, and rather useless to a rarified few. What value do they have? I find it’s subjective.

To wear out two old quotes at the same time ‘One man’s trash is another’s treasure’. That sir, is my business.

Those that have handled objects with age know that value is intangible. Sure, you can manufacture something that looks old, you cannot manufacture time and to some that in itself is worth the price. I’m charging these prices so I may have a glass of whiskey at the end of the day, nothing more. I do this with passion in mind, not profit.
