.....I didn't mean to get in an argument, my point was that there is more to buying a part than just the part itself. Service after the sale, support for the community of enthusiasts you are apart of, keeping a valued resource in business, and supporting an American business with fellow citizens who are employees, are all reasons why I like to support a company like Suncoast or Pelican and am willing to pay a small premium above some faceless, anonymous, Chinese eBay page.

Are the exact same bulbs on eBay for half price? Sure. But in the long run, I believe supporting those I have described above is the right thing to do, and actually is to my selfish benefit, because it will keep these wonderful parts outlets in business for my future needs.

Again, with the sale they had, it didn't end up costing that much more and I knew I was getting the right part.

Thanks for your time.

I'm done.
