I'll agree with that too. Luckily, I can do most of my own gun work and car work, so ordering the parts on-line isn't too bad. Then again, I also learned that it is sometimes better to go to the local Advance Auto Parts store to order parts. I tried to order some Bendix brake rotors from their on-line site and they sent me some no name junk but charged me the same price. I went through hell trying to get the Bendix rotors and finally settled, if you want to call it that, for Brembos from another retailer. However, I was told a week later that the Brembos would take about a month to get. Mind you, my car had already been sitting on jacks for two weeks. So, I up and decided to go to the Advance Auto Parts store and buy whatever they had in stock to put on my car. While I was there, the guy told me he could get me the Bendix rotors in a day, and I asked him if he was sure because the guys on-line were telling me 2 to 3 weeks. He told me that I should never deal with the on-line site for serious parts because they only got their parts in Arizona. This guy told me he could get me the rotors in 24 hours through a local distributor. So, I waited a day.

I did the same thing with my wife's engagement ring. There was no way I was going to order a stone and setting over the internet, even if they let me inspect it for 10 days.

In the end, it all depends on what we care about. You can bet that I will not buy a car on-line, but I will haggle about the price via e-mail.

So, that means that I have to rephrase the post above.

Most transactions will occur via the internet, with the exceptions being somewhat few for high dollar and technical purchases and the need right now purchases.
