Rant on.
Did anyone else receive the Blau promo in snail mail about a 10% disc on all 
webpage parts?
Needing a WOT switch, I thought I would pay another visit to their site.
Opening the "Tools" section, I was incensed by the pricing on 2 particular 
items.
Part #M4037 is a simple tubing clamp they claim is worth $19.95. McMaster 
Carr sells them for ONE TENTH of that.
Part #F1714 is the CIS diagnostic fuel pressure test gauge set. Since it is 
somewhat public/list knowledge that you can order it from J.C.Whitney for 
$55.95 (#12CS3617U), I find this to be price gouging rivaling the dealer.
I want businesses to make a profit as much as anyone. I have on occasion paid 
more for parts in an attempt to help the local/small vendor stay in business. 
Still do. Did so last week as a matter of fact.
This however crosses a line. It's absurd, and inexcusable!
I have ordered parts from Blau in the past, but I'm not sure I will in the 
future.
Rant off.

PS Profit-sure! 1000%- no way!
