I try and support the local business people if I can, no matter what the
type. But sometimes they just don't have or cant get something that one
needs and goining online is the only way.

Ie: I wanted a right angle hdmi adaptor, but couldn't get anything local.
Had to resort to fleabay and wait longer due to them changing the way
sellers get paid. The sellers now wait two weeks before they even post the
item.
