I get excuses from them like "we can't spare the staff to research and
price every part that comes in" - so they only put a set list of parts in
the store and that's all they'll sell. they used to occasionally do a thing
called a "parts safari" where you could go in and dive through their boxes
of sorted stuff they didn't plan to sell before they sent it off to
recycling. it's been a few years since I last heard about it though.
