No one compares to the artificially deflated prices at pricewatch.com. The
vendors that advertise there know that you're looking for the absolute best
price and that the low price comes up first in the list. So they gimmick by
limiting the number of parts you can buy and jacking up the shipping/handling
charges. Also I factor in convenience (I can get it today), and what I call
the bitch factor, which is since they are local it's real easy to go and
complain face to face when my expectations aren't met.

Given those factors, the prices are comparable. You can check them out yourself
because Ginstar has their prices online: www.ginstar.com
