why do local businesses have to charge more than you can get somehting on-line? don't both companies have overhead? don't both companies have employees? Don't both companies have other expenses? I honestly don't know, Is it perhaps that the online company isn't limited by only selling to people who stumble into their store, therefore selling to a much wider market? Does anyone know the answer? Why do inquiring minds want to know?

Why doesn't Curtman know the mail order places are just a low rent room some where with a hundreded folks crowded in there an they ain't never seen a product in there life. No show room. No prime easy to get to location a store front needs. No security for the display items. No insurance for display items. Most of the time they make a deal to sell 100+ items a day/week with a supplier or manufacturer and buy at a price way under what a store front can as they have to go through a supplier (middle man).

Why was I really happy when Curtman told me "YOU SUCK" this morning-- Maybe because that means I moved up a notch!!! OR maybe because I am heading out to Disney Ok to do a little wheeling.
