Do you want to pay less for your stuff!

[AJ_77]

Yes, I want to pay less. Ask anyone who knows me. ;)

But at the same time, I want to support those who have made efforts to further the hobby, to supply reliable goods and livestock, and who are enthusiasts themselves. Who else would send a person livestock "no charge" to help with a chronic tank problem? Who else would drive 3 hours to deliver a customer order? Who else would approach your own prices while still trying to cover his overhead and make a living at the same time? And who will honour product warranties, give extra discounts, put a half-dozen free snails in the box, and lend you his clam book?

This is why I will support the small business owner whenever I can, at least the ones that have shown they deserve my business.

(Well put, Emily B.)
