I'm savings up my quarters for the next servo group buy.

I bought 8 already, but I will need a total of 24. Damn! Why can't I win the lottery!

I told the other three stores here we gottem for $12, they said great(dont let the door hitcha' on the way out..) like I'd ever shop there again.. I wanted to say, "hope your business survives" ..

He was surprised we were using ball bearing servos for these. He mention a metal type servo but I was giving him that dog listening to a high pitch noise look. I asked why would I need that much muscle when it's only seasonal.

Just switched to Dish from DTV. Now I get all of the channels I really wanted. I can't wait. History International will occasionally run some haunting shows.

20 Dollars is a pretty standard price for OFFLINE shopping of a servo.

Don't forget the overhead a store must have to carry products, pay employees etc etc.

I called local stores here and they all said 20 for the servos. One store who I deal with for my RC cars and heli's (i've spent nearly 10g there) said he could do 15 and that was his cost, he showed me his listings right from hi-tec and he won't lie to me about that. I go there and I pay their price for their expertise in the subject.

People aren't out to steel money from you.
They are covering their costs and trying to make money as well.

The internet and larger retailers have DESTROYED the smaller stores. As i'm sure many of you are from smaller communities you can see that when walmart moves in, everyone closes shop. Its impossible to compete!

This isn't a rant btw LOL

Just a friendly reminder on retail !
