My LHS will work with me on certain things. If it is over 100 dollars I can usually get a real good deal from him. He told me "your my best customer"....I chuckled and thought....who else does he say this to...haha. I will attempt to buy it from him if he comes in close in price. Sometimes he beats the price online....like getting me my 33% edge 540 for 700.00 instead of 850.00. I always give him first dibs on my bussiness when I spend a bunch at once. If everyone did that our hobby shops would still thrive......bummer they aren't. Kevin
