This past Canada Day actually. Not as often as before, but still once or twice a year.

Yep, if it's Vette specific, I'll load it in the cart and just leave it there until the announcement. Amazing how much stuff you can accumulate by the time the offer comes around.

its the price you pay for guaranteed delivery, insurance, tracking, possible fraud, theft and a small markup. these vendors aren't making a killing on shipping. usually I see how shipping is a factor in the total price of an item. consider that. I always compare ebay total price to amazon and autozone.. total prices are close. it is not practical to buy the little onesy twosy things at a corvette vendor.

i bought some motorcycle pipes a couple of years ago. I paid 40$ to ship. sold other pipes, wanted to use the same box, same weight to sell another set. the shipping calculators showed 100$ to ship.. pretty much the same distance. I wish I knew the secrets and ins and outs of how that is done.

Really? Do you have to be signed up with them or something to get these notices?
