[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by shawn-118 Seeing as I've just bought a house with an old barn(60x40=2400sqf) that I will be turning into my train room/building I can't see paying 4.99 ea for flex track at my LHS when I can get 100 pcs. for 99.99 online. Even with the excange rate S&H and duties the savings far out way the the support that I can justify giving my LHS. I know that I should support them but how can one willingly pay 350.00 more for the same product. With the amount of track that my layout is going to take, going through my LHS it will cost me more that the house did. An expence that my girlfriend will not go along with...so to keep the peace it's the "most for the money" that way she lets me keep a hobby that I love to do. [/quote] One thing I can say is that if I'm buying a large ticket item or a large quantity, my LHS's readily discount me where they can. They will either pay the tax (15%) or take an additional %'ge off. Unfortunately I find that by the time it gets to the LHS it has passed through so many hands that we are paying more than our fair share.
