[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1402032, member: 9096"] Yep, it's the same here.. 15 years ago they wanted $44 for a roll of tarpaper at the local supplier, at the big city it was $25.. and it's the same with COUNTLESS other items.. Please, no Vaseline, I'd rather take it with sand and chilli oil! I don't mind paying slightly more in a small town, I understand that, but when it's nothing short of a ripoff, screw it, I'll shop elsewhere.. And I hate to admit it, but I'm doing much more shopping on Ebay now if I don't need it in a hurry. Friend of mine works on excavators, the thumb switches always fail, Finning (CAT dealer) wants $15 each for them, so he asked me to see what I can get them for.... Well, I got *40* of them for $9.75 delivered, and they're identical.. I bought some mini toggle switches, heat shrink tubing, all sorts of electronics from there now.. When I spend $100 there I have something to show for it at least, and truth be told i haven't had any bad quality stuff yet.. I certainly am not paying 1000% markup for someone to import it! [/QUOTE]
