    We had a saying at the former jobsite: "we can't afford to buy things based only on the price tag." (as that behavior tends to result in problems and expensive re-work).

    Which is why:
    1. I do not buy any electrical parts from eBay
    2. I only by parts from xj4ever.com unless
    3. I can’t pull them off another parts bike right here.
