If you are so cheap that you have to have the absolute rock bottom price then buy it on the net, BUT... don't go to the store first to STEAL their time and soil the merchandise they have on display only to buy it on the net. The service you are getting at the local retailer has a cost. The retailer besides provide you with a service is providing a local job, perhaps to you or your neighbor and paying local tax's. The internet dealer provides you with no local job, no service, no answers, no support, no nothing except a cheap price. You get what you pay for..... don't steal what you are not paying for!

Many stores do what I do, we offer to price match any legitimate internet price when all factors such as shipping, assembly, training are calculated in. Give your local dealer a chance, believe me they want to work with you.
Wow! You might want to let us know what your store is so we don't waste your time. Pretty harsh post from a business retailer to its potential customers so I'm sure you won't offer it. But what do we know cuz as you infer, we don't have any scrupels and just soil your merchandise and STEAL your time.
I really love this line "don't steal what you are not paying for". So if I come to your store and a sales person helps me I guess I am now obligated to buy something?
I understand your frustration and your point but it gets lost in your delivery.
