Default Where you buy; Part II

Ok, this has been an incredibly interesting series of questions for me. One more, for now. I think I have a couple others for maybe next week.

Ok, let's say your pro shop has a website, complete w/ a shopping cart. Would you MOST OFTEN buy from the website, or physically drive to the shop and get it?

Depends what it is I guess. If its something I've bought before from the Archery shop I would then order it online knowing its exactly what I want. If it was something I wasn't sure about and wanted to see for myself I would go to the shop and get a hands on look at it myself. I voted 50/50.

Start an E-Bay store, you'll get allot more business than with a website. Allot of small pro shops would have goneunder if they hadn't done this.Some did go under because they didn't.

Voted 50/50 but closer to 25/75 in reality. Most of the time I figure out something I need or want while Im either on these forums or looking through a mag at work. That means its easier for me to jump on the computer and grab it.

I don't like to buy unless I can touch it and play with it first.

I seem to do most of my buying from websites, the "pro shops" in my area never seem to carry anything but the most popular items.

interesting question...I think I would still go to the shop and get it becasuse it is not that far (45 minutes) and I'm there enough anyway, or just could have an excuse to go.
