The circumstances under which someone wants some of our stuff is usually unorthodox if not downright strange. My last request for piano wire was from a guy who wanted a foot of very small gauge. Turns out he wanted to drill the edge of a quarter, affix the piano wire, then proceed to chump the phoneco for LD charges by repeatedly dropping and retrieving the quarter from pay phones. I got out of that one by telling him that he needed the cheese slicer gauge, and that all my stuff was too big! At the other end of the spectrum, I found that K through grammar school teachers love used, clean action parts. It's amazing the projects they can come up with by using all or parts of various components.
