Get one from AutoZone, it does it's job. All you gotta do is wire it up.

Agreed.
I recently cracked my radiator, Acura wanted $415 for a new one. Instead I got an aluminum C&R for $230. Which would you choose?

Lol, I think everyone will agree. When some of my struts blew on my car, they wanted $500 for OEM struts... I just bought some Tokico's instead,

I just paid $200 for a stupid hose from the dealer. It hurts me but then it makes me happy when I see my car running good.

That how Honda makes their money. In their parts because there's such a mark-up on it.

I remember a couple years back when I asked how much LS meshes would be from the dealer and they quoted me around $400 - $420 per wheel.

hey nice find... I might get one just because my car has 234K miles and I've never replaced my O2 sensor. I don't have any CEL's or anything but surely I would benefit from a new one.

Don't waste your money. Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no middle ground. They are either good or bad.

No, there is a middle groud. A "lazy" O2 sensor will not put out a check engine light but isn't performing the way it is suppose to. There is a tool where you check the voltage on the 02 sensor that tells you wheter or not the voltage is correct.
