E&G Painted Fender Flares - Anyone use these

[Huck BB62]

The price I was quoted, $290, was for the gray/black ones that match the bumper color. No paint. I believe in capitalism, but I do not believe in ninnyism. In today's internet market place, it's stupid to have something stepped on twice. If anyone wants to be competitive, getting rid of middlemen is where it's at. E&G could pay a couple of frecklefaced high school kids to pack these things up and sell direct (and therefore sell a HELL of a lot more of them) at half the cost.

We have a truck accessory place in town. A real storefront. The story's the same there. They don't have a damned thing in stock. Again, with today's market place, why should I pay a middle man? Now, if they actually stocked the stuff, I could see it. But all they're doing is ordering it and I have to wait and some of these turds charge shipping too!

I ordered a Stirling 5si trailer through Tractor Supply. They have their game together. The trailer is being shipped in at NO COST. Amazing. A whole galvanized trailer that weighs almost 700lbs and they're not dinging me for shipping. Now that's what a middleman is supposed to be like.
