Vhuck... I've asked at my local Woodcraft store a couple of times
about matching Amazon's prices and got a firm (but polite) "NO" every
time.

I wound up buying a barely used Jet 14" bandsaw locally this past
weekend. I even asked the guys there is they would consider a "For
Sale/Swap" board at the store that way someone wanting to buy a bigger
machine/tool from them might have a good selling resource and they
panned that.

This is not to say that if you did go in with the printout from Amazon
and talked to the sales guy that he might get a little flexible. Just
don't expect him to come near splitting the difference.

And yes... I still go there and pay top dollar for stuff that I think
I need!

My second question is a moral issue. This guy spent a lot of time with
me and gave me some great insight. Do I cough up the extra money to
buy it there or do I avoid the sales tax and shipping charges and buy
it from Amazon (who is also giving an extra $25 off). I'm torn. I
usually buy my stuff there because they're great whenever I have a
question, but I'd probably save another $175. What would you do?

Thanks, as always, in advance for your 2 cents.
