I need to order a new display assembly for my iPhone 4. I went to the guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+4+Dis... and clicked on the "relevant parts" tab, only to find myself at http://www.amazon.com/Iphone-Screen-Repl... Not that I mind to purchase for that price, but I was surprised to find ifixit parts on Amazon. Is this a legit link:-)?
We sell a few things on Amazon. Some people start and end their product searches there, and perhaps a few would rather go through Amazon's payment/shipping/support procedure than ours (an unknown).
However, that particular part is not ours; you can tell by the lack of iFixit branding, as well as the 3-star rating. ;)
Since we can't carry every conceivable part or tool needed for repair, items can have external supplier information. Our goal is to help people fix things, so if we can't provide the tools ourselves, we'll send you to someone who can.

While this information is all correct, it appears that someone was trying to link to their own part using that guide. We do actually sell that part, and I've gone ahead and corrected that so that there will be no more confusion.

I do realize that ifixit can not carry all those parts in their inventory, and I also understand about the selling on Amazon. I am pretty well- versed in the department of inventory control:-) I was just surprised since this particular item is in the inventory, but not from that seller as well as not for that price. I just thought it was odd:-) I appreciate that clarification.
