Rip off of the week
 

I went to Orchard supply for a small bag of 1/16"x1/2" cotter pins. not stainless!!! Orchard Supply is a moderate sized hardware chain store owned by Sears in Northern California. I expected to pay $1.29-$1.99 for a bag of 20-25. It cost $0.79 per two pins. that is so totally insane. Please Mr. Obama may i have some more. gripes my buns!!!!!

WOW. I just looked up that size online, found some on Amazon pk of 125 and stainless for $4.79 I agree the place you went to is a rip off.


Cheers,
Wade

Did Mr. Obamasell them to you? I didn't know he had another job.....

Maybe if you return them they will play the theme for 'Welcome back Cotter pins'

You must have gotten the hand made Metric Titanium ones that are tempered and case hardened.

No Mr. O does not have another job as he is quite busy with trying to socialize our country....what an a'hole

No Rex, these were defiantly made of Mytheral. The same stuff they use in Middle Earth to make Hobbit Armor??? Very expensive because of the Dwarf labor unions and the fact that shipping cost for the Elf's is really high as well.

He probably couldn't handle that job either....maybe like use a Muslim name to get a response.:eek:

Maus, those are the same pins used in the Flux Converter, coated with Navii unobtainium so they are expensive.

I'm fairly sure i saw those pins holding in Doc's Flux Capacitor in the Delorean
