So I told them...
You might want to consider selling me the item at the listed price of $139.00 . Anything other than that would be false advertising.! It is your responsibility to be sure your parts price list is up to date, after all it is your business, false advertisement, and bait and switch is a crime! I would appreciate the continuation of the transaction based upon the original sale. Aux. Air Valve 1982 PORSCHE 911 SC
Please let me know what your intentions are via E- mail...

A) Sell me the parts at the advertised price (preferred thank you)
B) Cancel the sale your self ( i'll go to your competitor)

Thank you

SO they say this...
Hello,

As with any company, prices are subject to change. We have over 10,000 part numbers on our site and keeping on top of them all is not instantaneous. We assure you that $189 is the best price in the market. Our cost is $185 so there is no way we can sell at $139.

Your card was not charged and you order will be canceled.

Thank you

So I sent this...

I find it hard to believe that you are in business to sell parts for a $4.00 profit. I don't think you will survive for long good luck. (Aux. Air Valve) Local porsche shop $89.95 plus install, total 140.00. Thanks for not selling me this item I might have got my hands dirty.

Can you believe that I wonder how many people fall for that crap!!!

If they're going to BS you about cost, they could do better than a $4 profit margin. 2% gross margin doesn't leave much room for overhead...
