prices not correct

i wanted to purchase front sway bar links from this link Th!nk Parts Guy/FTE Parts Guy
but the guy tells me the prices are wrong,this is what he wrote:
"not sure whats going on but the part numbers you ordered are obsolete, by using your vin number the part numbers you need and which I have in stock are 1C3Z5K483BB list $69.98 sell $50.39 and 1C3Z5K483BA list $76.65 sell $55.19 would you like for me to change order to correct parts and proceed with order?

I have ordered parts from him and did some checking around, he is usually the best buy and usually has what you are looking for.

I agree with fordboy67, I have purchased many parts from Ed, honest reputable and prices are fair. Considering he's in Washington state and I'm clear across the country in NJ, even with the shipping he's priced right and accurite with applications, if he say's it'll fit, I will fit.

Just my experience with him and my .02...

Even though Ed and I are competitors, I must say he is a straight shooter and deals in the truth. I've worked with him at our location and he WILL NOT feed you any b.s.

He can also do magic and find parts other Ford dealers can't or won't find. Such was the case in some FX4 Expedition emblems I wanted for my Excursion a while back. My local dealer acted as if it was too much trouble and not enough profit to look for emblems I wanted.

Ed is a real straight-up guy. He priced a part for me at Christmas time, but I couldn't do the deed. The part was the rear trim panel for my Ex, graphite. Talked with him again about the part for my birthday. He wrote back right away the part had been made obsolete, but he found 2 at an obsolete parts warehouse. I ordered it, with the screws and nuts, the evening of the 16th. On the 25th, I got an e-mail that the package was on it's way, WITH tracking number!! Got to SoCal on the 30th. I am really grateful for all Ed did!!
