Anybody go shopping lately at West Marine?

I hadn't been there for a couple of years. I stopped in today because I was
thinking of picking up three new LED type cockpit light fixtures to replace
the halogen bulb types.
I did this a few years ago in the upper station .... replaced the stock
halogens with red LED types. IIRC, the fixtures were about 15 bucks each
then.

Found them today at West Marine and grabbed three. Then I noticed the price.
$34.95 each. Hung them back on the display rack.

Talk about big oil ripping off the customers.

35 bucks for a 75 cent plastic fixture and a 2 dollar LED?

Gimmie a break.

There's been seeveral threads on west marine feeling they should
charge more for a lot of items.

There was a long on I believe on R.B cruising jsut a couple monts or
so ago.

I dont know where one is close by, but I'm not tempted to go in there,
even for curiosity sake, now....

Try Ebay for LEDs.
