Actually, depending on what you are purchasing, Pitsco/Dacta is a lot cheaper
than S@H. For example, axles & extenders from P/D is much cheaper than
getting the equivalent parts from S@H. Same way with hubs & tires, large
gear wheels, and especially the bundles of parts like 100 pieces for $10,
which is by far the cheapest way to get bushings, small pulleys, connector
pegs, and 8t/14t gears.
On the other hand, white plates and beams are cheaper from S@H. It pays to
compare.
