The Order Is Here..inverts Are In The Building(updated stock list)

Pricing is complicated, Supply/demand is a facile argument, no better than "overhead". We don't run these businesses, pricing is a business model/business policy decision, and (here's where market forces come in) people either buy or they don't. If someone is "eating your lunch" then you have to: grow the market, cede the market, accept lower share, or adjust your model. Complaining that people don't understand doesn't work at any level. Educating the customers about why they should accept your model and prices MAY work, if the argument is good. My main point in jumping in on this wasn't to complain about prices - they are what they are. It is important input to the retailers to understand that they are losing some business to price-conscious consumers. It doesn't mean they have to change.

I'm sorry to Neal for participating in this hijack. We now return you to your previously-scheduled programming.

You can't compare a port city (Richmond, Burnaby) to the Edmonton Market. Everything coming into the country from overseas goes through Vancouver. To get the product from Vancouver to Edmonton there are additional shipping and handling charges so of course things will be cheaper there. Nor is it a valid comparison to when comparing a retail store to online ordering IMO but that's another topic on an open forum....

Yes they maybe cheaper there but why can I order something (same as you) from Vancouver with shipping cost it still works out cheaper for me in the end.
I like to support local but I don't like to be burned either. So It's buyers choice, shop where you want. I have bought from Neal and no problems and I know if there was one it is dealt with properly. some stores say give me your cash and don't let the door hit you as you leave I sometimes feel from these local retail stores there laughing as I leave because they just made all this extra money vs what they paid for it. but we will see who's doors are open in the end.

one thing people forget is if a individial has bad experience with a store that "word of mouth" experience gets around fast.

remember the customer is what keeps your doors open

there is always potential in one customer knowing more business for you so don't judge the cover.
