[QUOTE="MrZappo, post: 1356461, member: 62424"] Many parts dealers (auto parts included) are still "trying to" operate like it is 1981 when people couldn't communicate like we can now. It was (and has been) common practice to mark up all products sold at a dealership parts desk by 100 percent. If they are selling something for $500, you can be reasonably assured that their cost is $250 or less in some cases. The fact that they let you walk just means that they have a bit of a lock on their local market and one customer is not that important especially if you go tell others that they can be negotiated with. The answer is simple. Screw 'em. [/QUOTE]
