    I think the parts people are making a killing these days. Maybe not the retailer but somewhere in the chain.

    If you want cheaper order from Europe. Why should US supplier drop price. He/she is the one benefiting from the drop of the Euro. Till one of them breaks out, no one is going to lower price.

    I restore bicycles and I can buy Campagnolo parts about 20% cheaper from England. Even when you add in the shipping. There are now several companies that are going after the American market in a serious way.

    We might see the same thing with Porsche parts. Maybe.
