My car had been having troubles, and needed a specialist. When I took the car in to a small independant repair shop, I told the owner/mechanic that I had a lot of friends who had parts cars, and that I could get some of those $300 sensors and stuff for cheap.

Turns out my car did indeed need an oxygen sensor, that I was unable to locate used, but found that it can be had for about $90 new at the local auto-parts store, and arrives the next day.

Would I be the bad-customer if I show up to the repair shop with this part new in a bag? Or would would they not care where the part came from?
I don't mind spending a little more at the repair shop, if it keeps the owner happy.

When I used to work at the bicycle shop, we frowned upon customers getting stuff from mail-order or other bike shops, then asking us to install it. Anyone in the car industry know what the right course of action is here?

I just want to get a quick response about how much time people have spent playing or DM'ing at high levels, how they got there, and why they stopped.

1) What is the highest level that you have played at for a few sessions?

2) Did the campaign start at low levels?

3) What ended the campaign?

For me, it is about 16th level as a player, and only about 7th level as a DM. The high level campaigns started at 1st level, and ended due to power differences between characters.
