Others have faith in the combined power of the Internet and two or three mail order giants remaining after an slow but certain market shakeout. Whatever the outcome, now is the time to step into action if you are after that one elusive part for your project or repair job. Concentrate on What and Where, surf, dig, unearth, bargain and rummage around. The Old Curiosity Shop may be closer to you than you think.
