[QUOTE="Daryl Licht, post: 2432543, member: 3330"] I see the stuff about local sellers having storefronts with overhead to cover, and I used to buy into that. But a lot of the sales made thru the internet are made by businesses that also have storefronts with overhead to cover. If they can sell it cheap and still maintain enough profit to remain in their brick and mortar business, locals should too. Having said that, local shops are at a near 10% disadvantage by having to collect sales tax. I usually don't have a problem ponying up the tax to support the hometown guy, but he needs to be competitive on the item price to begin with. It helps too, if he can at least pretend to give a rats ass that your spending your money with him. [/QUOTE]
