I agree, and very often, a lot more.Shopping around different distributors can save you more than "pennies."
We had a good bit of that around here the last time too, and its still going on at a couple of places."Capitalism?" Sure, some of you may make that claim, but as far as I'm concerned it's taking advantage of a bad situation to line one's own pockets.
Its a vicious, and self propagating cycle too I think. A bit of deceit and greed on one end, and lack of planing and knowledge on the other.
