[DeTomaso] Car Part NPC

[Larry - Ohio Time]

Dave

I needed a 4 conductor weather proof connectors for my pickup that I melted
with a "Blue Wrench" (torch), for the lights in the bed. None of the chains
or local shops had them but all could order them for around $50.

EBay, from China sold me 5 of them for $6 total with free shipping. Took 10
days to make it to my office.

What are you to do?  I run into this every day in my business...

So, to practice what I preach, I set out to buy some brake drums locally.
( eBay price: $48 dollars, free shipping )
Drove to my #1 guy to place an order, knowing his price is $85 plus tax plus
two driving trips.  He's closed on small business Saturday.
Drove to my #2 guy, he can order at $75 each.
My #3 guy is closed weekends, today learned he has two in stock, I bought
one, $85 & tax.
But I need two.  In truth, I could have bought two on eBay, then handed my
favorite guy $70 for doing nothing, same outlay of cash.
Am thinking I might get the second drum on eBay, split the difference
That's all, thanks,
GD

  I'd like to put in a plug for supporting your local brick and mortar
  guy with your daily driver and routine supply needs.  Otherwise when
  you need something that can't be done or obtained online, he may have
  already gone out of business.
