Aircraft Spruce and Speciality (ASS)

[Randy]

I am continually dumbfounded at ASS prices. I posted here a while ago that I purchased 2024T3 from Airparts 65% cheaper than ASS price.
Today I needed two Hartwell latches for the cowl oil door. I checked three businesses. The following prices include all taxes and shipping.
Guess where I purchased them from . . .

Aircraft Spruce $269.32
Wicks - - - - $97.14 - - ASS is asking 2-3/4 times as much
eBay - - - - - $32.65 - - ASS is asking 8 times as much ?? I am totally at a loss for words . . .
