I understand that very well, however if the price difference is over 20% (like 60%) I would, as I had,
point the discrepancy out to the retailer. If they give me a hard time about price shopping I would say forget them.
It is nice to get everything from one place, I agree, but I owe no one my business if they are going to be quick
to dump guilt. I would patronize a store if I felt they sold a good product at a good price and were polite and courteous
to me even if I shopped around and bought an item someplace else because they could not match it or at least come close to it in price.
Negotiation ought to be a diplomatic process and not one that involves guilt or obligation. Thanks for your thoughts.
