In the TR4/4A Glovebox Companion, TRF has a "list" price and "your" price.
When I buy something from them, I pay "your" price.  However, they base their
sales discount of the "list" price, which is 10% to 20% higher.  Makes it
hard to figure out what you're going to pay for a part without calling and
asking.

Don't want to start an "I hate TRF" thread because that was certainly
not my intent or meaning.
