Hi all.
I love a good trip to my LHBS.
I enjoy having a chat and picking up some odds and ends BUT,
I just can’t justify the price of some of the items when online it’s ruffly 80% cheaper.
A $35 brass Co2 adapter fitting no rounder than a 20c coin and no higher than a matchbox is $14 online
A $25 carbonation bottle cap is $9 online.
All with free shipping from Victoria.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand how a business makes money but, I just can’t justify spending $160 on Co2 fittings when I can spend the same for $60 online and buy the exact same products and not have to leave the house.
How do businesses survive under extreme conditions like this.
I will do my best to support, but if my minister for war and finance gets finds out on back to online shopping.
Cheers.
