"Spear Chucky" wrote in message ... I thought the advent of online purchase was to find deals. Some things are consistently cheaper online than at "brick & mortar" stores. Usually the things that are cheaper are commodity items, items that sell in very large quantity (millions of units), items that need little/no support in selecting or using the item, etc. Scuba gear and cigar manufacturers & distributors might know that many people buy their items based on dealer recomendations and placement of their items in their stores. Dealers won't place the items in their stores if they know that they are being sold on the internet for less money. Especially if it's WAY less money. Another way to look at it: Even though the local dealer is charging about the same as the guy on the interent...if there was no internet guy, the local dealer might be charging a LOT more. So you are still winning. |
