I don't sell them...but I do buy them pretty religiously.

Quality pots and caps with so-so pickups is much better than putting fantastic pickups through crappy pots. If you spend a couple grand upgrading the engine in your car, you need to upgrade the exhaust to reach the full potential of your mods. Just like a car's engine, your pickups need to breathe. Crap pots will choke out good pickups. Good pots generally will make up for not-so-great pickups!

Plus, they're broken! Go ahead and put some new ones in!
