I'm all for buying stuff on the internet and getting good prices but if you're going into a running store and using the expertise and equipment they offer to know what to buy they deserve to be paid for that. Their prices are what they are to cover that expertise and capability. If you can get that advice online, don't go to the store at all and just buy online.
Using local retail as a trial service only to buy elsewhere is a guaranteed way to eliminate such business...then where will you go?
I buy a LOT of stuff online. But, I make it a practice of buying locally if I use a local store to try out what I'm shopping for and I end up buying the item they had...even if it costs a bit more.
