Support your local BM shops!

Most B&M shops I have been in try to rape you with their markup. I wouldn't support my local butcher if his beef was 80% higher than the supermarket.

Not saying your preferred shop is this way, just throwing out my experience with the places I have been.

I know good places exist since I have bought from a good B&M that had online sales as well.

In one sentence your bashing B&M shops and in another you're saying there a few good ones out there... What exactly is your point?

Everything posted on this forum is subjective... just because "some" of the B&M's you've been to have "raped" you on pricing doesn't mean all shops will "rape" you on pricing.

My particular experience today was a pleasant one and that just my opinion.

I wasn't trying to offend you, I agree I probably shouldn't have posted my comment...I wasn't raped as I wasn't foolish enough to purchase at such markup.

You put out a blanket statement "support your local BM shops" and I responded, my local B&M's are not worth supporting.

When I see Kanthal being sold for $1/ft and it can be had for $0.05/ft it tends to anger me. My shops aren't only this way with wire, all the items are priced this way. Just letting you know why I posted even though I could have kept it to myself....carry on with all the wonderful vape setups.

In one sentence you contradicted your original post.

You admit there are bad B&Ms but you made the blanket statement to support them all. Are you really saying I should go spend my money at a bad B&M that overcharges people like crazy just because they are local? Sorry, I don't feel like buying 30ml of bland ejuice for $22 just because the shop that sells it happens to be local. You go support that place if you think they deserve to be in business, I'm quite sure they would be happy to take your $22 for a 30ml bottle of juice.

And if you aren't saying that I should support bad B&Ms just because they are local, then what was the point of your "Support your local BM shops!" post?


I'll support good vendors. If they happen to be local, that's great. If not, I'll buy online. But I'm definitely not supporting the vast number of crappy B&Ms around me just because they are local.
