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

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.
