Default Why do O2 simulator prices vary so much?

I noticed that BPP has them for $199.99, while TBYRNE has them for $89.99. Why is there such a big difference? Is it just "mark-up" or is there really something different that sets these two apart?

Its called Marketing. If the company is targeting F-body cars they typically sell for $89.00. If they target Y-body cars its $189.00 They are identical parts.:yesnod:

Because when you part a .99 cent resistor and sell it for a crazy markup, there is really no "range" of pricing........

I just sold a set for $60, shipped.

They are all pretty much the same, EXCEPT for the prices. :lol: :lol: :lol:
