Re: [Amc-list] Leon's Auto Parts

I do think it was because they simply decided they wanted more money for the parts.
I was just trying to be fair as they did allow him to take the parts with him.
Being honest, he paid.
I seem to recall he was a little peeved that they told him one price and he drove all the way down there to have them charge him more.
