There is usually little experience behind the counter. Your big Canon purchase is unusual; consumables like new filters and gadgets and other stuff that makes one appear as a regular is what will get you the favors now and then. Volume usually doesn't matter. I, too, would go to the "beards" if I was spending $5000 -- those guys are hungry, and they'll work their tuches off for that big an order. The little guys just can't compete, or don't know how, or won't make enuff profit on that big a deal to be worth messing with. I showed a film ad to Dover Photo the other day, and they showed me their cost, which was higher than the price in the ad. ======================================================= -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved =======================================================
