It aint me. I'm making less on this part (percentage wise) than I did on the $12 plastic part it replaces.

$89.95 !!!!! THIS PRICE IS OUTRAGEOUS. As a manufacturing design engineer, I can tell you that someone is making a killing. Anyone know where one can find thin wall steel tubing couplings that have a barb (bump) on the ends, in various diameters? If so, I'll be glad to weld together this fitting, and sell them for half. this cost. I'll even have them chrome plated!!!! Eric
