All of it that wasn't caused by people wanting other grey parts. :)
I suspect it won't have a big effect on the clearance sale frenzy, since LD
won't be able/won't want to beat clearance pricing. Where I do think it will
have an effect is on the online sales and auctions. If firbleflanges are
available at $0.20 each from LD, (even if only in large quantities) then the
people who need firbleflanges will be much less willing to pay $0.50 or $1.00
in auctions.
