[QUOTE="was, post: 2404733, member: 24488"] -I'd have to disagree with you there. I'll be 32 next month and I am far more concerned about price now than when I was younger. I've found that as your financial obligations increase, you become more concerned with how you budget your money. Younger people with less debt, can afford to spend more on non-competitive local shops. I know that during college, I cared far more about how quickly I could acquire material than whether or not I could buy it cheaper elsewhere. -My home town has two local shops, neither of which are friendly or competitive. They never have sales or markdowns of any sort. While I do appreciate the hidden costs businesses face, I find that very few of these local shops care about the financial situation of their customers. They're entirely concerned with profit, and from a business standpoint that's good for them. It does not, however, instill a sense of guilt in me for patronizing on-line merchants. As long as there is money to be made selling gaming material, some type of business will be around to sell it. [/QUOTE]
