Always right after I place a catalog order with somebody I figure out
one more thing I should have ordered. I need a trailer light and a
folding cup holder and I found one dealer, iboats.com, that has both
for reasonable prices. But I know as soon as I complete the web order
it'll only be a couple days before I figure out I needed something
else! That happen to you guys?

Oh tell me about it!

But how it usually goes with me is I call a parts house for an
important part. And being such a small item that you don't wish to pay
minimum shipping for you add some stuff you don't really need, but you
will soon, and therefore you make the shipping more justifiable.

Next day, you get your stuff, and everything is there except for the
part you were desperately needing. It's back ordered. Of course, the
sales geeks looking at the computer monitor never tell you that.

Which is why you *always* ask for a stock check on the critical
'show-stopper' parts *before* giving the rest of the order. I've been
known to ring for the stock check then order online :-) How they usually
get my goat is to put the order on hold because some catalog flier POS
consumer tat item I've padded the order with is out of stock but
expected real soon now . . .
