good point Don, I frequent the B&M near me and have for several years now. They call me when hard to find stuff comes in and I get a crack at it before it hits
the shelves. Plus my regular buys get a 10% discount because I shop there often even if it's a few dollars more. the relationship is worth it the extra cost in my mind.
Lot of good online retailers to choose from, I usually go with the one with free shipping.
