amazon - $56, arrives tomorrow
napa - $236, arrives tuesday
lordco - $231, arrives monday

this is for the exact same part - they all have the exact same part number from the original supplier


i don't mind paying a little more to support a local company, but 4x more is insane

In a similar vein, I was in my corner hardware store a few days ago and another customer very seriously asked the clerk if they "matched Amazon prices?". I wanted to slap the guy.
