Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?

Missed out on solenoids as our #1 choice.
All-in-all missed 5 items out of our top 17, so we had a 70% success rate.

We got a fantastic haul:

3 Spike Relays 60
1 Crimping Tool 100
2 Pressure Switches 40
2 Brass Based Fitting Kits 100
1 HD3000 Camera 50
1 Ethernet Port Saver 5
3 Window Motor Couplers 15

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?

I'm amazed there's still over 100 of the graphics card still left. I really did not see that coming.

I'm having some trouble understanding the significance of the order in which the items are displayed in the PDF sent by e-mail. Can anyone shed some light on that?
