[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1833858, member: 105"] Very true but it doesn't take 20 different sellers to deliver a great deal to the buyer. One is enough for me. I'm not sure how they get away with crashing the low price barrier of manufacturers but the consumer is the obvious beneficiary of it and some of these low price sellers have thousands and thousands of positive feedbacks. Leupold has always had an iron grip on the minimum prices that could be charged for their products but that seems to be slipping away now and I know some of the local gun stores around here are suffering from that as the digital world marketplace simply underprices them to the point where they are either cutting their prices as well by price matching or just discontinuing products that can be bought on the net for often less than or close to their cost. We can sit around and moan about the slow disappearance of the old time gun stores or just accept that this is the new world and there's really nothing that can be done about it. It kind of reminds me of Wal-Mart coming to small town America and putting a lot of the mom and pop stores out of business. Like it or not it's the unstoppable wave of the future.
