You ain't seen nothing..............Try shopping from Canada with the currency exchange, Harmonized sales tax, and the cross border brokerage fees if using UPS etc.OK so we have had pretty bad inflation now for the last 2 1/2 years, but everytime I have to buy anything at the friggin "auto part store" now days, no matter whose name is on the door, IT is Rape! Crazy!
Yea I buy ALL I can at Rock or anywhere else but he local parts emporium!
Example: OK so its a Ford part, but does not matter what make. Example: 66 Ford starter relay. Rock is $8 plus some shipping.... the "other guy" is $30 local pickup. same part, same brand. ITS NUTS!!!!!!!!!

7.00 was too much. That **** is killing you. Ha, like i got room to talk. I think I pay 100 dollars a pound for my favorite jerky.My favorite pepperoni 20oz sticks that I like to cut up and snack on in the shop used to be around 7.00. Now they are 12.99
I am sure they are just that.Everything is up in cost for sure...but the cars are selling for higher prices too! I sometimes wonder
if Rock Auto is anything other than a computer system.My parts seem to come from all over the place?
And the sodium will do you in. Ask my cardiologist after my open heart surgery7.00 was too much. That **** is killing you. Ha, like i got room to talk. I think I pay 100 dollars a pound for my favorite jerky.
Gotta use the pink Himalayan salt.And the sodium will do you in. Ask my cardiologist after my open heart surgery
Tell my work that. My pay ain't going up like inflation is.When your cost of what you pay your workers goes up you have to raise your prices.
The O Reilly family back in Springfield has enough money and their stockholders can go pound sand. Back in Mo. the small towns close by had two independent parts stores, I bought all I could from them unless I was ordering from like Rock. Why Because I got good parts wih a LIFETIME guarantee by that local OWNER and better prices than O Reilly down the street.OK so we have had pretty bad inflation now for the last 2 1/2 years, but everytime I have to buy anything at the friggin "auto part store" now days, no matter whose name is on the door, IT is Rape!

Been there.Done that.I should have bought that complete 63 Dart off my Mopar bud with a fresh slant for $1800 and hardly any rust! He was only a 10 hours trip!!
Yep I looked at a Duster in the summer of 2019 the kid wanted 5 grand not too bad but it had issues and I offered 3800. He didnt bite oh well...LF frame rot major work inmy opinion that warrranted the low offer. It was a 318 auto car though engine ran good.Yep thats me. But after 40-50 years building Mopars I bought 2 Ford projects! I have tons of NEW small parts from alternators down to ballast resistors! I wanted a 70-2 duster but did not feel like driving to Ar or Ok and was not paying stupid asking money for a Tx beaker.

There was a nice Car quest what I call Mom and pop parts store in teh town I work. I used ot go there alot why? Itw as old school they had anything and if they didnt they could get it, goodparts counter people also,they even had a body work section where you could buy everything to paint a car including single stage paint. Anyway Auto zone literally moved in right down the street and they closed down. I really dont know why AZ isnt cheaper and teh parts arent really any better. If anything people r epaying more for overseas sourced knock off parts, I dunno...I still think they dont want us keeping these old cars running but theyll keep selling us junk parts untill we catch on...The O Reilly family back in Springfield has enough money and their stockholders can go pound sand.

Her in our little Tx. town, about 2 years ago, a guy moved in an bought out the local parts store. He raised the prices bad and went broke in less than a year. I bought ONE part fro him and figured out quick he was a bandit!
I disagree.....Here's whyPizza delivery guys are getting $22/hr here at Domino's.....so standard of living is definitely going up..
