At what point do you NOT support the small local shop?
I occasionally buy something from a small, cluttered, strange little music store basically because I feel bad for the guy. Never anything big, but several guitar hangers, picks, and a capo. The Shubb capo I got last night cost me $36 and change. Obviously, driving ten more minutes to GC would have saved me nearly half that, but I didn’t balk at the price because I don’t think he makes much money there and I caught him just as he was closing for the day.
I guess I’m just curious where people stand on the line between supporting the little guy and throwing money away?
