He's making profit. What's really funny is that the magnetic drain plug is 8 to ship while the oem is 3.50. So 4.50 for some extra bubble wrap for the magnetic one or what? It's a marketing strategy list lower price for the item and make it up in s+h charges. Or it's just another means to make more revenue all together. IMO vendors should list the actual price of the item (their mark up already included) then charge actual shipping+packaging material cost. As far as their time packaging fuck that. He is a middle man that's his job. Source the parts from the manufacturer then sell to the consumer. He marks them up and makes a profit.
