I really try to support the local core stores here.. especially the local skate shop.
When I shop online for skateboarding stuff its usually 5-10$ cheaper which is understandable since you have to pay for shipping and all that stuff. I can just as easily go to my local skate shop and get whatever I need for usually a couple bucks more.
I went to my local camera store to check out bags and memory cards and there prices were RIDICULOUS compared to b&h. I was looking at a Lowepro Nova 3 AW (I think) bag which was 70$ at the store and 37 at B&H... I can understand a few extra dollars but almost double the price seems like a complete rip off. I was also trying to find 4gb CF cards which were 125$ at the store and 70$ at B&H and the store had some brand that looked kind of generic.
Once again I can understand maybe 10-15$ more than online but this disappointed me.. even Best Buy had cheaper cards..
Is there some reason for this?
