... several times in the past some 'Zoners' have stated that we add to the demise of local 'mom and pop' stores and even 'big box' stores by purchasing stuff on line ... I have often stated that they sometimes FORCE us to do it, by only selling some items on-line ... this weekend was a classic example ...
My wife Lydia, had mentioned a while back that she would like to have a 'digital picture frame' ... so I talked with my two kids and we agreed to purchase one for Mother's Day ... after doing some research on-line, I went to 'Best Buy' this weekend, and sure enough, I was told they no longer stock those items and they had to be purchased on-line ... so who is at fault ?!?

Discontinued..usually that is stated on their website?
we all created the demise now we have to live with it.

No - Best Buy now has many items only available on-line and they are not the only store.

As long as you are going on line to purchase, might as well find the best bargain while you are at it. ;-)

The item isn't discontinued, it is only sold on-line ... except "we might have some in the store during the holidays" ...

And I can count on one hand the number of items I have purchased on line, and probably still have a finger or two left over ...
