Default OEM parts retailer?

Who do you guys go to if you need an OEM part and can't find anything used. There's an interior Garnish panel I need to replace, but can't find anything on the used market. Local dealer wants $140 and when I look at multiple online sources I see the part for $44 generally. I'm just not sure which site most trust for that kinda thing? Who do we trust for this?

I have used all of these with great results. Also your local Honda dealer, I have bought several accessories from my local dealer and they have worked with me on price when I mention getting better pricing online.

The problem I have with these retailers is that the shipping costs are often more than the actual costs of the products.

This is an unfortunate side effect of trying to buy a single, cheap item from an online source. Typically with small items like this you can get them for a cheaper overall price by going to your local Honda dealer. You can also TRY to call and negotiate a lower shipping price from the online source if you know the item will fit in an envelope or USPS flat-rate box. I've done that successfully before.

OP - What is the item you are looking to buy?

Exactly. Some want more to ship it then the part costs. Also I have found the garnish from some retailers, order it, then am told it's out of stock.
