Good point on where buying. We were like magnetic zombie's drawn into the Dead Zone big box retailers.... Menards, H.D. and Lowes. We must have been the only zombies shopping and the others were invisible ghost. Nobody is in these places - Chicago area! I do support our independent local lumberyards but for plumbing fixtures there, prices are double, same SKU's.
Willing to pay more as long as its WORTH it. Difficult to fully examine the difference between a $125 special American Std. vs. $385 Kohler. You're spot on going to the expert wholesaler. I would think those fellows would know whats good.
