Default Parts prices

I was looking for a ATM module price for a Fuji 32 on the Tower Hobbies website.. Never did find it...However, just looking at some prices, I almost fell off my chair...A Walbro carb for a Fuji 32 lists for $98.99..$98.99 [X(] this exact same carb, brand new from any chainsaw store in the country, lists for about $42.00...A spinner bolt, to use a Tru-turn spinner, is $35.99 [X(]
A Champion spark plug is $8.49 [X(]..And I thought Horizon was bad...Welcome to the world of exclusive imports guys, BEND OVER....It always pays to shop around....The carbs are at least 50% off from Walbro to a dealer....Spark plugs, $3.00 or less...Any decent machinist with a Hardinge chucker lathe can make bolts like that from hex stock all day long for less than $2.00....Been there, done that, was the fastest chucker operator in the West, A legend in my own mind..[8D]
