Why are prices so different?

For Kenmore machine made by Whirlpool

How can the two places have such different prices?

$16.19 + $6.25 shipping = $22.44.
Says it's Whirlpool OEM Part #WP95405

$28.68 won't give the shipping charge until I fill in my name,
address, etc.


Easy to answer. RepairClinic is a reputable supplier of parts for
appliances and they make a profit on what they sell. They also help
you with videos and such.

Sears is an old style business that uses their reputation of 50 years
ago to justify exorbitant prices.

Your example is why I've not gone to Sears for decades. In the past
40+ years I've been to their store maybe 8 times and actually bought 3
times. Their business model does not work in 2016.
