Depends on what it is that I want


Guitars. I can buy online an expensive guitar or other music gear on a zero interest monthly payment plan with free shipping and a no questions asked return policy if i don’t like it. Further, local stores have a lousy selection. So, how can I say no to that deal. I haven’t bought a guitar locally in 15 years at least.

Stores just don’t stock what I want, usually. Remember when you would go into a hardware store and they would have a display of all the current Case knives models?

Remember when there was a hi fi shop on every block?

The marketplace has changed for many reasons.

Basically I buy food locally and I support my local record store with few exceptions

When I lived in NYC it was different. With some effort getting off my butt, I could find almost anything I wanted being offered in a store somewhere but NYC was basically the worlds biggest shopping mall, at least it was then
