Wow. What a positive thread. Being a regular really helps. I like having customers back and we try to have or get what everyone wants at a price that they can afford and will keep us in business.
If you want a shop to carry something fairly specific, and you have freinds looking for the same thing, tell the shop you know some other guys that are really interested in the Sturmey Archer 45mm shift pins, and they will get them if you stock them. That is really how we started stocking parts for fixed conversions and single speeds. It is not a money maker, but there are people that want to hold it before they buy it and we are the only guys that have any of that stuff and like talking about it.
If you think a part, or labor is to much try not to snicker and roll your eyes, this is not the way to a good deal. Just say you can't afford it. You might get a deal that way.
