Just because there is an exchange of money and services, does not mean that such principles as "supply and demand", "maximize profits" or "put it on eBay" must take affect.

If this were the case, I would not have three of Brian's personal bikes. Brian has helped me with bicycles since 1975, freely sharing his knowledge and love of sport. In this day and age of paid "coaches", racers who don't know how to replace a derailleur cable, and highly priced components that don't last a "season", it's reassuring to know there are people like Brian (and Richard, Fred, Ralph Carnevale, Gian Simonetti, Ernst, Skarin, etc).
