[QUOTE="Balgus, post: 1052119, member: 8113"] Well, I used to buy a lot from the store- almost exclusively... unless he does not, and will not carry it. But since that store closed down, I found the wonders of online shopping. Then I moved and found another store. Nowhere near as friendly as the old one. In fact- I am only picking up things that I cannot order online for a better deal (as in the price is about the same)... The reason is that the owner is kind of a jerk- and rips me off occasionally. (example- i preordered a mini that cost $22. It never came and so I asked if i could get a refund- he said store credit only. WTF! And so I decided to buy the three core books- 3.5- from his store and I had a discount card for being a frequent buyer. The total came out to be about $100, minus the 15% for the card and -$22 from credit would have been $63. Instead, he took the $22 off first, and then took the discount. Which brought the total up about $4. Now, I wouldn't have minded except he does this very often and in many other ways... and a rip is still a rip. it's the principle of the matter). So unless I need something right away, I usually get it from Buy.com, or walmart, or FRP or whichever place I can find it for cheap. I have no qualms or feel any pity for shops like that. But the last shop that closed... man that guy was nice- and I did feel bad and never bought from anywhere else but him... [i]edit spelling errors[/i] [/QUOTE]
