Like you, I personally don't care WHAT price someone eles sells their
parts or services for. But I think what the original poster might be
alluding to ..... is that Robert is always talking about how other
companys overprice their services and parts and give very little to the
end user in comparison to what HE provides.  He's always saying that
other companys "rip off" their clients in various ways ..... that he
doesn't.  And here, he is apparently not carrying that philosophy over
into his on line sales. He'll "give away"   a "free" keypad to one of
his clients as part of a service call but charges twice the price for
the same keypad that all he has to do is drop ship to a customer.  This
could certainly be described as a little bit hypocritical ......  Seems
to me.
