My brother gets their catalogue and I've looked though it and it
doesn't really seem like there's anything in there that I need. But
they do have a good selection of stuff, though. I looked at the prices
of their electrical things and saw items there that I thought were
rediculous, and saw things in there that my local marina[s] have for
compatable pricing. But not all things.

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.

That sounds like an Ebay item to me.


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

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

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

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.



Jegg's and Summit. I like their sales lines. "your LOW price!" or "The
part you want ant the price you want to pay..."

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.

Harry, isn't that job classified as a "diesel-fitter?"
