<p>Mizzell are my nearest LHS with a decent stock but I found their prices high and I prefer Caboose anyway, a bit further drive and I am unlikely to spend the time and gas if I am not otherwise going that way.</p><p>There was one in Boulder but it closed just after I moved into the area. </p><p>On pricing, well a discount is all dependent on the extent that the Manufacturer sets their MSRP. Bachmann you seem to need to first have their MSRP so anybody expecting to sell at their MSRP is taking the piss.</p><p>Generally P+P versus Tax tend to balance themselves, I will pay a bit more to get it from a shop, but not a lot more. I had a look in a couple of shops when I was in San Fran last week, did buy something from ACE in Berkeley, they had a 20% off for December, but still a bit high.</p><p>I personally prefer Hobby Lobby to Michaels, a lot of the Michaels stuff is very pricy, even with the 40% voucher that they often advertise.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
