Topband: Re-using Guy Grips...Why?

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

Jeez. Hams sure are cheap.  You put up a tower and antenna for a  couple of 
thousand dollars and then want to cheap out and reuse guy grips that  run $5-$6 
each.  The recommendation of the manufacturer is "don't do  it".  Do these 
guys reuse old PL-259s too?
 
By the way, if you guys think PLP guy grips are too expensive from the  
regular sources, I have 'em way cheaper...3/16, 1/4 and 5/16.  Oh, by the  way, 
they're all new.
