Call me cheap but.....

My 1993 CSE has been leaving embarassing oil spots everywhere I park it. I replaced the the crank seal and oil pump seal as well as the valve cover gasket. They were both leaking but I continued to have a leak. After close inspection I realized I was leaking from the low oil level sensor O-ring. I checked with eEuroparts and the O-ring was $1.39. I really didn't need anything else so I thought I would run down to the dealer to pick it up. After all, how much of a markup could they have on an O-ring. They wanted $11 and some change for it. I asked if they were joking and he said no. On principle alone I told him I didn't need it that bad and left. I bought 2 from eEuroparts and even with shipping it was under $10. Incidentally, it did solve my leak problem. I just thought I would vent.
