I love to support independent local vendors when I can if they have what i'm looking for and as long as the price is in the ballpark I guess i'm ok with paying a little bit higher in some cases but to be honest I haven't personally witnessed local vendors price gouging......kinda hard really anymore with a quick intraweb search to get the best advertised pricing.
I just cant do the dickering. I'm sure they would give me a break but I just ain't gonna say "I can get it on Amazon for ***" Some of what I buy I cant get from Amazon , like customer service and knowledge.
