Re: market forces

I buy pretty much all my CDs from one local store.  They treat me right, 
will order anything I ask, and I pay an extra buck or so per disc for that 
service.  However, having been lied to, insulted, and ripped off by every 
local music store in my home town, I buy most of my gear from Full 
Compass, 
where Michele consistently gives me fantastic and personalized service, 
honest answers, and very good prices.  I'm a capitalist, and my money goes 
to the person giving me the best combination of price and service.  I 
think 
it's silly to think that local music stores are somehow preferable simply 
because they are local.
