I for one am sick of the "I make no money off of this" comment.. I am starting to here this more and more from a few LDS. Are they just saying that because they feel guilty aboutgouging us with a 250% mark up?? no sure, but it makes me go HMMM...

Web Monkey:You have somewhere else to get air?
LOL, Roman, I don't mean to pick on you just because I copied the quote above.notabob:The trick with LDSs is to find one that works for you, and build a relationship with them. Once you have that, it makes life much easier... You don't feel like you get screwed every time. You know what to expect, and they don't try to make you feel like an *** if you didn't buy a piece of gear from them for one reason or another. In other words find a shop that is reasonable and doesn't have a problem with common sense. Granted, most of the time it comes down to employees working at the shop, vs. the shop itself...

macado:Moral of the story is, if its cheaper buy it online. Survival of the fittest, if they can't compete, it's their problem.
