I just bought a new 20 ton press from napa for 1100$. And then i saw the same type of press online for 275$ did i just waste my money?
well that depends. some items are not built the same. others are painted differently. did it give any specs for both?
Price differences may be in quality or in some cases the brand name. You will have to figure out if the higher cost option is using higher quality materials and manufacturing processes or is it just increasing the price because it is brand x or brand y. I have heard Napa can be a bit higher than other guys but I don’t know enough about automotive stores to know why it is higher.
