[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 317621, member: 2318"] It's the Shark Tank dilemma. Should you be smart and self-interested about buying a new car, or should you show charity and buy from your dumb brother-in-law whose wife just gave birth to twins? Remember, you, too, have a family to sipport. And in this case the B&M's prices are waaay out of the market. Besides, pipes and tobacco is a perfect Internet business and a problematic B&M business. The customer base is small and widely dispersed. I read recently that there ae only 1.5 million pipe-smokers in the U.S. (!!!) Squeezed B&Ms can't just sit tight, let service and product deteriorate, and raise prices as if they're entitled to the local trade. Your friend most likely knows the end is nigh. [/QUOTE]
