the pricing is generally good. cheaper than ebay usually, and no shipping! it really comes down to the vendor though, some are willing to make a deal to send something to a good home and some are really hard-asses, but the sticklers are the minority.
Thanks for the insight! Now i am getting excited. I wasn't expecting to get any steals on vintage parts since we all know what things are selling for on ebay, but saving on shipping is a big enough deal. Buying a bunch of $30-$40 parts from different sellers online and suddenly you've spent $60 in shipping. It should be worth the trip even if I just get the handlebars and stem I need.
