RE: Would I be offending....
Hmmm, there seems to be a major flaw in your logic in that I WANT TO RIDE THE QUAD, not pay for somebody elses. If you read through the other posts, which I assume you didn't, I wasn't talking about 5 bucks, I was talking about $100 or more. And regardless of where I was getting these accessories, guess who gets to tune up the ol' bow, throw on new strings, etc., etc.....that's right, the local bowshop.
So let me get this straight. Wherever you bought your vehicle, you continue to go back to that local dealer where you purchased it for every single thing that needs worked on, is that correct? Even though you know you are paying several hundred more than the fella down the road, you continue to go to him to make sure you are acting in good faith? I would find that very hard to believe.
Obviously you and I are two different people with two different sized pocketbooks. I like to find the best deal possible unless the difference is very minor when living in a fairly large community such as this one. And if in fact our pocketbooks are similar in size, then I have some swampland I'd like to show ya.
Just my two cents.
