I once spent six hours calling around for quotes on a 400 mile move and ended up saving exactly $12, which works out to two bucks an hour for my time. My wife still brings that up at dinner parties. So $340 on Denver to Seattle is a real win, good for you. The smaller brokers sometimes just have less overhead and can pass it on. Big names charge for the brand I guess. I learned my lesson and now I just pick one and move on with my life.

Read a thing on Reddit where a guy tested like 6 of those cheap mounts on a road trip and the $12 one outlasted his $40 brand name. Something about the spring tension being tighter on the knockoffs. He said the glue pad was the weak point though, not the magnet. Might be worth grabbing a spare adhesive strip just in case.

Does it really matter if the clip is old though? The city in that doc was a real find, so the video is just recycling something true with a fake "just spotted" label. People getting mad about the source while skipping past the part where it was actually discovered feels like missing the point.
