longfins, thanks for the article, brought a good point of view into the argument

ok, what about those of us who dont have local stores, for me, if i want anything, the local stores dont even carry any brands of freediving equipment, i probably have to get a ride from my 'rents and then go to the stores in toronto, (an hour away)

dot.com stores are the only options for me, until i can drive, and then the market will open up more, but dot.com is the way the market is moving

funny, i remember reading something about when catalog sales were introduced, local stores were furious because they lost business to the catalogs, yet the world somehow managed to sort itself out, i think that it will only take a little bit of time and the balance will be re-established,


ps. these are opinions from someone with no business experience at all, just what i think is gonna happen
