Those PE folks are killing me. I simply tried to order 4 metal cabinet corners to finish up a project, and it ended up costing me
$425!!!! What's up with that????

It couldn't possibly be the few other items I threw in the cart
along the way. On the other hand, a mixer, mic, horns, crossovers,
more drivers, etc. might have done it. :^) Good thing I don't
have another drug habit to support on top of this.

Chris (what do I tell my wife now) R.

I don't get it. How are you guys getting ripped off? Is PE overcharging your credit card without permission or something?

Parts Express has a good reputation - just go to www.resellerratings.com and you will see. These guys are addicts and PE is their dealer.

I hope that nobody reads only the headlines and gets the wrong impression about PE.

Its a joke.

Wayne, I hope the title doesn't make it out to the search engines.
Maybe you want to kill the thread.

Hmmm, OK :P

I thought something was a little odd with it but it really did look real to me, somehow :P

No, dude, when it hits the search engines, people will check it out and see that you're being facetious and having fun. I'm in the same boat as you - I always end up spending a few hundred bucks when all I want is a handful of parts. Every time I repair a tube radio, I spend at least $250.00 on "extras" when all I really need is something like a $6.95 tube.

Now that I think about it, I need threads that say π Speakers is a rip-off!
