I was ordering parts for my wife's car earlier today. I was shocked to see I could have order them through Home Depot (I didn't). The same parts from the same manufactures at less then 1/2 of what the parts would cost locally with my discount, and the parts from both the local and the online store would have arrived on the same day. I would rather give the local guy 15 or 20% mark up to keep him in town, but its h ard to justify giving the local guy a 100% mark up to order the same parts I can..
