My LHS used to have a sweet indoor 1/10 track years ago...he now sold that part of the building to a mattress discount store....

His prices are sometimes at least 10% higher. The only time I order from them is for a part here or there...by the time I pay shipping for 2 items it is equal to what my LHS chargers so it is a wash. Although lately, when ordering from my LHs, the parts can take a least a week to arrive and seeing that it is 25 min away....

The bigger stores in this economy have a huge advantage over the little guy. I just hope that the little guy doesn't disappear completely.
