i have a fairly good relationship with my LBS and when I am looking for a strange part, I prefer to root around the broken parts bins myself and not waste the time of the mechanics. I got the few small parts for a good price, but I spent an hour looking for a pulley bushing. Now if some of the employees sat there digging through the parts bin for an hour they may have charged me for their time to find it.
