That's what should have been done with the op. I had a situation where the reproducer promised in writing for a specified length of time, to not repop any more parts (as I bought a quantity to resell) which he didn't honor. so there's that. 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanician Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Back to the original question of etiquette, to me it all comes down to whoever initiated the request. If the manufacturer approached the lender, or solicited that they were looking for x part to reproduce, then the proper etiquette would be to supply the lender one of the finished parts, or in more involved cases compensation by prior agreement. On the other hand, if the lender approached the manufacturer proposing a future product offering as a carrot to encourage him to take the job, the lender should be willing to pay a fair price with no special discount and be happy to have received a necessary part at a fair price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
