43,000 views on this topic, wow, it has made an impact for sure.
Nice thread and at least the OP admits his motives. Drive all the legitimate business's out and make room for the illegal home business's. Disgusting...

I doubt there are many brick and mortar stores that only sell marine, there are but 2 (two) that I know of in my area that btw has a population of 7 million people or so. One of the two is a chop shop that sells overpriced frags, the other is just a hole in the wall bargain place. If the market did implode and these two shops went out of business it would mean increased business for the local hobbyist frag community. Is this a bad thing? Not in my book. Inconvenient perhaps, tragic hardly.
That's the silver lining, when this thing crashes we're going to be back to selling our home-priced frags again You made some great points, thanks again for your insight.

Just do your part to grow and sell frags locally, it's all you really can do. Undercutting the high priced websites in your local community will have more impact on pricing than any internet rant.
That's what I try to do
