Well I was just wondering if that was a good deal and I guess it is because he's selling the set for 43.95 and thats including shipping, so unless you would be willing to give them to me for $40 shipped I get the better deal from him.

Dude...I would rather pay a couple of bucks more to EXCELERATE since he is a great seller. You won't have any issues from him. There are many people here that would say the same. Watch out for those ebay "deals". Many people have been waiting for their products on ebay only to find out that they are out of stock and will ship to you in a few weeks or even months. It happened to me and many others. What are you going to save...$5? Not worth the risk IMO.

^^^Exactly right Excelerate is a great resposible vendor, I would definitely go with him for a few extra bucks rather than some random schmo on Ebay.

That is fine. You can choose to order from wherever you like. Keep in mind though that b/c we, as vendors, pay to sell on this site your membership is free. So by buying parts from a source you can trust and a vendor of this site you're supporting Acurazine and making it possible for everyone to enjoy this site and the information within without having to pay for it.

LOL, what Irony, this is the exact same listing you gave to me a while back when I was looking for spark plugs I'm sure you remember.. Eh, I guess I'm lucky.. got mine for 43 shipped and received it within 3-4 days (priority mail), the seller even gave me good feedback too which was awesome.

Hmmmmm........ now I'm starting to think ProvidenceLeaf is getting a comission off of this, this sounds like the same guy I'm going to order from on Ebay his price is 43 shipped also, you guys say its only $5 but $5 saved is $5 earned

I got my NGK Iridiums from PepBoys for $7 a piece, $42 plus tax. I think spending a few extra bucks on tax is better than waiting for shipping.

ngk's are designed to last 100k, denso only 30k. denso's have more iridium in the electrode and are supposed to give you more pworer, but I didn't feel any difference when I had denso's. Now I have NGK iridium's and I am happy. BTW I spent 37 bucks on eBay and had them in a few days. I all depends on the seller on eBay.

I just received my NGK Iridium IX's today in the mail off ebay for 39.95 shipped, two days. Was the best deal on there, and the last at that price. But yeah if I had known I could have gotten then from Excelerate I would have just to support the site and for security.

And as for Iridium, it is found on earth. Mostly in nickel mines. Just FYI
