I have to agree with Nic in the general case.  I want to support all
the businesses who support Our Favorite Machine.  But my local
dealer charges $130-150 for a package that the local mail order
dealer charges $100.  I only buy inexpensive stuff from the local
dealer because I can't afford his prices.  I shop there and demo
stuff there and feel guilty about it but the last two expensive packages
I bought were bought mail order.  I wish he'd lower his prices some.
He doesn't have to match the mail order because I want to support his
policy of demoing stuff.  I know it costs money.  But 30-50% is more
"support" than I can handle.

Maybe he'll get some competition in the future and then lower his
prices.  Maybe.
