One continuing theme I keep seeing is people getting ripped off by buying online. My big question is, why don't people support their local shops? Yea, sometimes you may be able to get a little better price online, but is it worth the wait, hassle, and all the b.s. you have to put up with. Plus, by supporting local shops, your scene will have more chances to grow. Yo go to a local shop, and there is someone there you can talk to FACE TO FACE, not through e-mail or long distance calls. You get hands-on rather than high tech. But then again, I don't know what everyone's shops are like across the country. Just my .02 cents.

p.s. - This is one of the big reasons I don't buy online. Because of the growth of the shops in my area, we now have a monthly import drag race at the local track (with CASH payouts) that is sponsered by the shops here in town. You support your shops, and in turn they will support you.

I have had three shops rip me off. So fuck the local scene.
