a different way of looking at this - small local can also mean paying more for same thing on special at larger retail- make up your mind as to what you want and then shop around - okay many younger sales people at larger chains are just that sales people but the price well that has to be considered - you need to spend a bit to get started hunting and every bit saved - shop around and haggle - but have your mind made up first

This, but my local matched a price when I asked (less the courier fee I would have had to pay otherwise) so it never hurts to ask

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
