Yes my point exactly. They imply that they are giving us a good discount when you can buy the same part from them cheaper on ebay!
Seems less than honest.

It's about marketing rather than honesty. It's about having a captive audience.

I've no complaints about their prices, obviously cheaper to buy online than in their depots. One thing that confuses me is the discount code. Many codes are available on the net and give the same discount as what we are offered.

I would suggest you put this to ECP on our forums in the form of a PM, Patrick or Kunal will be able to answer your concerns.

Are they the same grade part, whenever I pop in there's always a real cheapy and a factory grade part for almost everything.. Haven't got a cheapo price and then the factory part with discount have you?
