Not being a rich man, I always look at price first. Then I look at quality. If quality is to where I could not live with it then I might be persuaded to buy a more expensive product, but price is the first thing I look at.

I look at all three, usually price first. But maybe there should have been a choice marked
Reputation/customer service
There's a couple of vendors I've avoided just from the problems members have mentioned here. And I've had bad experiences trying to order from a couple myself. I know they won't go broke from loosing my $400 or $500, but they've probably lost future money from me also.

There are so many inexpensive (and CHEAP quality) parts available now, you almost have to disregard them. If it's a part that takes "load", it better be made by a reputable source. It'll run today...but not for long.

Price is definitely first, but you have to be smart enough to either walk the line between quality and price or know to take it easy on the cheaper parts you buy. Some people are just too clumsy to buy cheap parts.
