[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 214387, member: 704"] measure-it I agree with you to a point. Where I depart from that thinking is when I can not find what I want anywhere in North Dakota. It gives me a pain, but then I have used Amazon. Also sometimes the rip off is just too much and they don't deserve our support. I'll give you an example. Last time the thermocoupler went out on my gas fireplace a new on in North Dakota cost me $30. I recently installed a new one that I purchased from Amazon for $7.99 and it was the same brand. Now if it was $25 locally and $20 at Amazon I would consider donating the $5. However, I believe we support each other and when the price difference is that much they are not supporting us they are shafting us. I buy locally when I can and if it doesn't make me feel like a sucker. Like buying cars in Jamestown. Most the time I buy here, but every time I do it cost me more to purchase here. Sometimes I feel it's unfair to the people in other towns willing to sell me the same vehicle for less. I don't know if that's support or I have been a sucker. As for buying from Dick's --- it's sort of like Hillary selling uranium to Russia. Why support the enemy? [/QUOTE]
