[QUOTE="husker77, post: 7991891, member: 641116"] I didn't work in car audio but in boat repair. I would have people that would call or stop in for advise and help on diagnosing a problem they didn't want to pay us to figure out. I would spend hours with these people helping them figure out their problem, then when they figured out their problem they would ask the price on the part they needed, 9 times out of 10 they would comment about how they found it on the internet cheaper. It was usually less than 10% difference. We used to get boats from 100's of miles away, I was one of the best. I quit because I could make more money being a garbage collector. The boss decided to just close instead of trying to find a new mechanic. People are always calling me asking for help and advise because there isn't anyone to take it to anymore, I tell them they should have thought about that when they were buying their "cheaper" parts off the internet or from Cabela's. We will be a third world country within 10 years the way people's attitudes towards cheaper and cheaper is. [/QUOTE]
