Price of the NGK coppers?

Hey, I know this is buried in the FAQ's somewhere but I'm hella hungover and my head is banging like you wouldn't believe. So, could one of you guys help a drunk guy out and tell me how much the NGK Coppers are at the dealer and where else I could possibly get them?

I bought mine at Kragen... $1.99 each. Model number BKR5E-11. Make sure to gap them properly, mine were way off of spec.

yeah, should be under $2 each.
That is good for spark plugs. The platinums are like $11-$12 each. They last twice as long, but it is not hard to change out anyway.

ok, so i go to the stealership. The guy is a rude mother****er first of all. I tell him "I need a set of NGK copper plugs for a 1996 Maxima." He says (VERY rudely) "We don;t sell those, all I sell is original equipment and the Platinum plugs are the OEm and they are $11 each." I tell him he can plug those things up his *** and I leave. The local Advance Auto Parts weas nice enough to take care of it for me. the plugs cost me $1.50 and they were a lot nicer.

I could have told you that and saved you the trouble.
What I don't understand is how the stealerships still get so much business when they treat people like crap? They always have and probably always will. The stealership is the last place I would ever go to get something, if I had a choice in the matter.

Oh man. I gotta show you guys this spark plug. It looks like somebody roasted it over a fire. I think I'm going to spend a couple of days under the hood this weekend. Something is NOT right.
