Very interesting. It always amazes me when I see some of the stuff the big companies get away with.
Did you know that the prices on the OPG web site are not necessarily accurate either? I just bought a couple of things from them and the dealer price they charged me was higher than the retail price on their web site. They told me that there was a price increase and the web site had not been updated yet. I asked them how they normally handle this with their retail customers, and was told that they contact the customer and let them know of the price increase before shipping. Unfortunately they don't extend that courtesy to dealers. They just ship the stuff and surprise us with the bad news.

I just priced a water pump for my big block at year one. The web site says $80. I called to order it, he says $89. I say "excuse me". He says it costs more to talk to a real person. I asked "how much is shipping?". $16. I checked the web site and shipping/handling looks to be $8.25 there. I understand how or why this is, but I really don't like it. It sure has a tendency to drive people away from the phones and to do everything on line... Mark
