whats that mean attitude? as a consumer i am resonsibile to get myself the best price possible. i work for my money and i do not need to see it spent needlessly but getting nickel and dimed.
also as a smart consumer i do my research b4 hand to know exactly what i want.
i support myself.
It's fairly simple. Let's see if you can follow along.
Consumer like necro goes into local shop and "does his research." Then he leaves without spending a dime, goes home and orders off the internet. Local store goes bust. REI is left because they don't depend on climbers for their revenue. cc.comers whine because REI isn't a real climbing store.
What about this don't you get?
