The "problem" with you Americans is, you go to a webshop, see a bottom bracket you like, see that it's only $24 and then wonder why does that "bozo" (that would be me) ***** about some bearings when he can have the whole BB for a couple dozen bux.
But you forget that I might not live in the USA, and that BB would end up costing me $50 or $55!
Moreover, the bearings in question cost $2-3 each, and are so small that they can be sent in an envelope, making shipping expenses an order of magnitude smaller.
EDIT: Biketoolsetc.com doesn't even ship outside the USA and Canada
