I went to Highland Woodworking for a $10 item, and got out of there for under $100. Hadn't happened before, IIRC.

What a great accomplishment! Now your new goal is to go in for a $10 part and come out with only the $10 part! :D

Kent, once you can do that at Lee Valley and Felder as well, you're cured!:D

Maybe you can develop a 12 step program!

I have the same problem no only at tools stores but at HD, Lowes, grocery store, sporting goods stores. It seems like it is always a $100 min.

I can do it at woodcraft all the time, of course that's because the service is horrible unless you are looking at festool products or lathes.

I hate giving up on the local retailer, but I'm done.
