I was looking for a repair part for my TV. I wanted to find it locally, so i could get the TV fixed quickly. I went to a couple of different places and neither had it, but both said to try Brook-Mill. I went in to Brook-Mill and told them what i needed. I was looking for a replacement lamp for my rear projection Mitsubishi TV. They had just the lamp part, not the whole replacement cage with the lamp included that i had seen online. When i asked how much for just the bulb then, the salesman said it was $129. I told him that i could get the entire assembly online for $45. Granted that is a generic assembly and not a Mitsubishi direct part. He then said that was probably a very ""cheap"" replacement part, which i agreed with. I then said i could get the actual Mitsubishi direct part, the whole lamp assembly, for $100. At this point someone who was around the corner talking on the phone, looked around the corner and said ""that's easy, get it from mitsubishi then"" in a very rude manner.
