You always take a chance on purchasing something online, even though you can save some money, you still have to consider packaging and shipping costs.
Then if the item arrives damaged, you have the hassle of having to fill out claims, if you insured it. Buying local, you have the service, you can get it the same day, and don't have the hassles associated with purchasing from someone you don't know. I bought my used blue and white from MacTown and didn't have to pay anything for shipping and got it the same day. I haven't had any problems with it at all.
