Actually, it's quite understandable.  That extra 92 cents per bolt
is paying for the big sign with the 3 special letters in front... B M W :-).

But, for someone who only needs two small bolts (how many of need 100
of them?), it's much easier to just run down the the dealer and drop
a couple of bucks and have them that night.  Sometimes, it's worth a 
bit extra for the convenience factor.

     Just my $0.02 worth (+/-),
           Larry.
