I have an observation to share. Take it for what it is worth to you.
Brick and mortar businesses, especially smaller ones, cost more to operate than virtual retailers who can order shit by the pallet load and set it on a warehouse floor somewhere the public is not welcome into.
Thus, it really is unfair and unreasonable to ask - or expect - an actual local small business operator to "cost match" (or even get really close to) the virtual retailers.
It really IS up to the buyer; pay what it costs to keep the local guys doors open, or don't. Yes or no, off or on. Simple stuff.
Again; just an observation . . . . . :)
Mike, we are very fortunate to be able to provide the pricing we do.
We are also very fortunate to have a lot of great customers; and a lot from this forum. Can't thank everyone enough. Hey, and especially you and Jonas - you guys provide us a sales outlet!!
I'm with you 110% on that Daniel. Talon, and myself, feel the same way.
And I can't say that it does not make sense to TRY and get the stuff we all use at the best possible price.
But I also believe that a lot of folks lose sight of how the retail business works.
My "favorite" example is ammunition. Our ammo prices are ridiculous. We mark it up ZERO PERCENT. And bricks of .22LR are sitting on the shelf for $75.00 (with several cases to back them up in storage). People flip out over that price.
What they don't realize is that because we are a small business and can not order 20 million rounds at a time the only reason we have 22LR ammo on the shelf is because we ordered it 6-10 months ago. The price we paid is what it was going for back then.
We wouldn't be in business long if we took a 50% loss to "compete" with ammoengine.com, or luckygunner.com, or bass pro shop. Or Walmart. So, all we can do is let a significant investment of operating capital sit there and gather dust while we listen to folks tell us the same ammo is on luckygunner.com for 1/2 the price.
It makes me sad. And more than a little frustrated. :(
Yep, its hard to compete. However service will often times win the day.
I thought 7% over the interwebs on the poop knife was a helluva good deal :dunno: I'll take that deal to support forum members everytime.
I'm down with the LMF II.
