TMI Upholstery

Man I was looking at parts online for my 66 Mustang and happened the see TMI SVO leather upholstery for sale for $2112, that's for the full set! I bought a full set back in 2015 and it was a little over $600. That's crazy!

Yep, stuff's gotten stupidly-expensive lately. THEN, there's shipping. I was recently looking for a replacement exhaust system for one of our Cadillacs. Single exhaust in aluminized pipe is nearly a grand!

Yeah shipping gotten crazy too. I have a lot of motorcycle parts that I've accumulated over the years and have been trying to get rid of some things. When I tell people how much shipping is, it's a deal breaker most of the time.

Yep! Been wanting to get a storage cubby for my co-driver's Tahoe. Shipping from GM or dismantlers has frequently been more than the item. Granted, it's kind of big, but not too heavy, but still, $150-$200 for just shipping is maddening. I also wanted to get some 1/2" diameter X 40" carbon tubes for another project, and shipping was nearly $100 because of that one long dimension.
