I don't know if this is off topic but, I just got back from a pet shop near my house and it is unreal the prices he charges for his products. I needed a refill for my tap water filter,he charged 32.00 for the refill. I drove past Petco($19.99) and Petsmart(19.95) to visit his store. I'm trying to keep the money local, I feel that without these stores the hobby would crash, but come on, he most likely made at least $15 on such a small item. How can anyone justlfy these costs, considering today's economy,and the fact that we can just point and click and save money and have more.BTW he charges 8.99 for live rock and 5.99 for base rock. When i looked at it, i couldn't tell the difference. He was also charging $275.00 for a 2x65 compact that anybody can get for under a hundred bucks.Maybe ot's me, but i cannot justify making any other purchases from this store, and it's his loss, most likely i'll spend close to 3 grand to finish my 140 considering it's sitting empty on it's stand , and none of that money is going to him. I'm i right or wrong concerning this issue? :? :(
