[QUOTE="ghostler, post: 558854, member: 9204"] [SPOILER="Case in point,"]I bidded on a 1990 Dodge D150 pickup truck in 1993 at a US gov. fleet vehicle auto auction in Albuquerque. It was one of the few where private citizens could bid along side car dealers. When I won the bid at $6,600, over time learned a few things about this model of truck. It had parts from the earlier 1989 truck. When I bought parts to replace worn, the local parts jobbers (Carquest, NAPA, dealer, etc.) did not have the matching part listed for 1990's, but a match was found with the earlier year. It even had the front plastic cosmetic radiator grill of the 1989 model, not the 1990 model. In this case, the Chrysler Corporation had won the competitive bid to provide the gov with new pickup trucks with the lowest bid. Thus they used up all the left over 1989 parts to build these trucks. Did the gov care? No, because the trucks provided the same service life and reliability with these earlier parts, but it helped Chrysler underbid their competitors.[/SPOILER] A state puts out a competitive solicitation for say, 2,000 altos, 1,000 tenors, 400 baris to the manufacturers. Le Blanc USA wins the bid. Lacking parts, they contact Yamaha, who ships them Le Blanc customised parts, but fill the shortages with YAS-23 parts. Ran short on Le Blanc cases. No problem, on the Yamaha case without label, slap on a Le Blanc Vito one. The state's public school system doesn't care, they now have new loaner instruments for the kids and the older ones are auctioned off. Also, a repair tech is fixing a Yamaha.
