What's overnight shipping cost these days? Isn't it about $30
You paid for the convience of being able to pick it up that day. Get over it and stop trashing someone for running a legitimate buisness.

I know it's frustrating, but you can't compare the prices online with prices at a brick and mortar store. You are paying for the overhead costs so that you can actually see and hold a product before purchasing it as well as ask speak with a real person, not to mention you don't have to wait for delivery. Places like Best Buy are having a real problem with this. Everyone goes there, picks the brains of the salesperson, and then orders online.

o and john thats really the pot calling the kettle black! with all the trashing in the diy forums you did
Its not a rip off when both parties agree on the transaction. Its not like he just decided to charge more because he knew you were desperate.

seems like both sides have made thier point, and this thread is going no where. I vote close it.
This thread doesn't break any rules that I'm aware of, so I don't see it being something that should be removed or moderated.
You're voicing your opinion which you have a right to do, it's just that some people don't agree and or feel you're being a bit harsh given the situation. Brick and mortor stores need to have a markup to exist. Mark ups do vary from sponsor to sponsor, but it's up to them to set their prices and up to us to shop around if we don't feel comfortable with a particular stores' mark up.

A little off topic,but,does anybody actually ask for a Boston Reefer discount for members anymore?
I don't ever reach for the card anymore,it's embarassing to hear"NO,I already sell at a discount".
And,I have no problem with this.The saving isn't really anything to write home about.Really only pay for membership to help the club out,not for any LFS buying benifits.

Nobody ripped you off. You saw the price, you agreed to pay it and you got the item you were supposed to get. If you paid more than the going price, that is completely on you.

I agree with this. Last weekend I saw a sales price range from $19, $29 and $34 for the same magnesium test kit at the 3 LFS's in Salem.

I bought a pistol shrimp at Aqua Addicts and Pat gave me it to me for $18 when I asked if he gave a BRS discount. The price was normally $25. But I did spend over $500 there in the last two weeks!
