I took the time to look at the web site. They are just a lookup / indexing
service and don't sell anything themselves.

Thanks,

Whoa!!! This is heavy! Some items are as much as $200 less on
Frugalmechanic.com  than on websites of our beloved suppliers.- and this
is for same brand, same condition stuff. Money talks, but money isn't
everything. With our "Beloved Suppliers" you get a lot of techie talk
and support. That alone is worth a bunch. Even before seeing this
FrugalMechanic website, I buy my stuff from a list vendor that typically
charges just a tiny bit more, but I get what I pay for - exemplary
service.That's worth a lot to me. But $200 difference on some critical
items? Sheesh - that's enough to make you sit up and take notice.
