I'm lucky to have a very good LHS to do business with. Unfortunately, the owner is considering retirement. He admits that internet stores really beat him in price. He wonders if they are getting a lower wholesale cost than him or if the brick and mortor really adds that much to the cost of business. <br /> <br />I've seen the MSRP on items and I know he cuts people breaks. Even if his prices are somewhat higher than the net stores, I gladly pay his price for the service and information he provides. Also, if he doesn't have it in stock, he will order it for you. <br /> <br />The internet store prices has really separated the wheat from the chaff when if comes to brick and mortar stores. But internet stores are now becoming a problem instead of a help. Internet stores really lack the personal touch of a brick and mortar. I wonder how long it will be before a reverse trend begins and people start wanting face to face sales again.
