[QUAD-L] $$$$$ specialty items

[Houston809]

Title: $$$$$ specialty items

Thanx Dana
Wal-Mart now that’s a store a quad or any chair user can shop without 2 much worry of $$$$$ compared 2 what we’d pay 4 similar item from a specialty vendor. :) I got bike tires on my manual chair from bikeshop... They wanted 3–1/2X from the vendor I explained I was paying out of pocket & not insurance they did go down to 2-1/2X they know they got us at their mercy. It’s like a drug dealer once he’s got U hooked. Like the leg bag drainer can be made for $30.00 from a hardware store probably $300.00 from a vendor check the cost let me know. I’m sorry heres the link now its $1999.00http://www.JB-3.com/ see the mark-up
