I'm all about supporting local business but I'm the same way with getting the short end here. I live rural so anything local is just about the only thing, they know it, and price like it.
As far as the internet goes don't get mad at me when I order the $20 part you are trying to sell me for $90 that you ordered for $20. I do understand overhead for a business and more than happy to help local guys but I'm not paying 3 to 4 times the price per part. Especially when you have your parts stocked on a visible to the customers shelf still in the ebay shipping boxes you got them in. Even worse every time I call for a part you give me an eta of 2 weeks longer than the dates I'm looking at online.
