this probably belongs in another thread but i'll say it here anyway...i work in retail (powersports). we're constanly losing business to the internet companies who buy in huge quantaties to allow for lower prices. we just can't compete with them when they're selling the same product for less than our cost. when people have problems with anything even related to what we sell, whether they bought it at our shop or not, they don't hesitate to call us to troubleshoot or to try and correct their fuck ups. what they don't realize is that unless they stop going after the 5$ savings local shops are gonna go out fast. gc isn't going anywhere but the local "elitist" shops who actually know what they're talking about aren't going to be around to service, demo, or educate. most music shops around me are happy to match or come close to internet prices anyway. i bought my 5150 at a local shop price matched at 780$ when they had it on the floor for 1000$.
