The price of parts and where to buy.

[devo]

For all Kiwi and Ausi readers
T'other day (sat arvo) I went in to my local supercheap to pick up a couple of spark plugs for my bike.
Unfortuanately they only had the one so I went down the road to the local Repco.
Yup, they had a couple for me,$10.50 each thankyou.I politely told the seller they were only $6.90 at supercheap and would he adjust to suit and he refused.Needless to say I spun on my heel and used the door.
So today I walk in to BNT and buy a pair of the same plugs,$6.10 ea thank you.
I now know where I will be buying all my parts in the future and it certainly wont be Ripco. BNT if I can get there or Supercheap on a weekend.
If you still arnt convinced,a few months back I checked out prices for an oil filter for my beemer car.
Repco - Ryco $58.00
supercheap - Ryco $27.00.
local beemer workshop- (OEM part) $28.00

yea, my problem with the local was he refused to deal or even discuss it.

Repco usually sell better quality than Supercheap but when it's the same product as you are talking about it sure stinks.

It certainly pays to shop around.
