Re: B&H puts another local camera store out of business (with my help, unfortunately)

With the states pu****ng online retailers to collect their sales tax (and 
some large retailers already complying), the equation is changing back in 
favor of the locals. I priced several carbon fiber tripods and ballheads 
yesterday in a local store, then compared to B&H. In most cases the 
difference was between zero and $10. And then there is ****pping: the 
expense, the delay and the hassle if you are not at home when the brown 
truck arrives. Not to mention that for items like a tripod, where
ergonomics 
is so im****tant, putting your hands on the product before purchase is 
crucial.
True, B&H has a much larger selection, but oddly enough, they were out of 
stock on half of the items that the locals had on the shelf.
