Anyone have experience with Overton's

I used to schlep all the way to North Raleigh to buy from them.

These days,

If Ebay or Wal-Mart doesn't carry it, I don't need it.

I'm not a fan of Wal-mart. I really do try to avoind the place, But
for instance. Overtons "large" bow light part #21543 in their
catalogue is $14.99 plus shipping. Walmart has exactly the same thing
for $9.99 + sales tax.

but i don't need one of those, either.

I have ordered from them and they are OK. Just watch the prices. Like
everyone else they have loss leaders and charge too much for other
things. Service was fine.

Yes, They're catalogue looked a lot like looking though a Jegg's or
Summit automotive catalogue. A lot of "chromie-go-faster" stuff. With
advertising using squeeky-clean models on the dock of the yacht club,
that wouldn't get wet, dirty, or sweaty if they had to.

That sounds like an Ebay item to me.


I use Wal-mart for oil or a birthday card.

I've applied for a job as a lingerie fitter at the local Victoria's
Secret. It's the only gals' store at the mall I'll go into with my wife.

Ebay or Wal-Mart?

:)


I've become a huge fan of on-line shopping for most light weight items.
There just aren't enough hours in the day for all that running around.

Yep. Like anything else, you have to watch prices.

For consistency, I use Defender down in Niantic. Consistent prices
and good delivery.

I really don't understand that thinking. *If you don't want to purchase
Chinese made goods from the store, that is one thing, but they also sell
items manufactured in the US.


Sorting them out is the problem.

You offer a reason why people shop their.........better prices

chinese is chinese whether from Walmart or Overtons.

But, if we don't buy Chinese goods, then they may just raise the
interest rate on those billions of dollars we are borrowing from them
to pay for this silly war we're in.
