Wny are prices so different; incredible shipping speed
Why are prices so different? For Kenmore machine made by Whirlpool How can the two places have such different prices? http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDeta...s=a11b6c7&mr=0 $16.19 + $6.25 shipping = $22.44. Says it's Whirlpool OEM Part #WP95405 http://www.searspartsdirect.com/kenm...2/0153200.html $28.68 won't give the shipping charge until I fill in my name, address, etc. Also seems to promise incredible delivery, so maybe it's expensive: Ship to Baltimore, MD Order in the next 24 hrs.39 mins. to arrive Thursday, May 26, 2016 It's 2:20PM on the 25th now so that means I can wait until 3PM tomorrow and still get it delivered tomorrow! Does that seem believable or did they make a programming error? (not only that, but the time I have left to order ticks down without my reloading the screen!) |

Several of the prices at the cheaper one were labeled, online, OEM Whirlpoool . Plus they had videos of how things worked and how to replace parts. I've never gotten it straight if the more expensive one, on the parts I looked at, SearsPartsDirect, was part of Sears or not. |

Have you ever heard of "supply and demand?" Capitalism. It's what your wacky left is against. If Bernie was to have his way both of those places would have to charge the same price -- probably about $60.00 plus $10 or $12 dollars for shipping. |

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. |

They beat HomeyDepot and Blowes both on very similar models . And I didn't need to drive 50 miles to shop there ... But I don't buy parts there as a general rule . Other outlets do have better prices for the same parts most of the time . -- Snag |

Little electric screwdriver, almost like a Derringer

Grainger of course had the advantage of being right there, but Amazon is trying to lessen that advantage. Looking at videos about fixing dryers, maybe this isnt' the best one but the repair guy has an electric screwdriver that looks like it's shaped like a Derringer. Much nicer in my opinion than one shaped like a fat pencil. It has a light too, that seemed to light up only the screw. He's British so maybe he bought it when he was visiting his parents. This shows it better than any other place: At 7:40 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBrVON2p3Yc This is all I found for sale This one is pink: http://www.lowes.com/pd_472276-353-2...toreBeanArray=[com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStore Bean%40b690b69]&storeNumber=2995&kpid=50235671&cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-ToolsAndHardware-_-CordlessDrillsAndComboKits-_-50235671%3ASkil&CAWELAID=&CAWELAID=320011480002778 375 It has the light, and it charges from USB. This might be it. For this one, they really wanted it to look like a gun, but it's 2" longer, 2" higher, and 1" wider. http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Revolve.../dp/B00A2SZ6WC This one is bigger yet. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GFINJ8/...8PT97CH97DBS98 If it's going to be as big as the last two, I'd go back to the pencil shaped one, I think, but I really want the one he's holding, which I think is a lot smaller than the first one, even. Anyone know what it is? britishjames.com seems to be gone. He mentions that Whirlpool dryers have (had) been the same for 30 years. I have experience with several washers so I'm not surprised. |
