[Public-List] West price matching

[Jim Davis]

My preference is a local dealer, if practical and price is within reason.  If I use the local dealer for advise, I will buy from him.  I don't beat up a local and then play the price game.  When it comes to a big box, I use them if I need it yesterday and for some things (expensive) I have no heart burn with making Worst Marine price match.  This is assuming I'm not getting advise or real sales help from them.  As to advise from Worst, I have a few salesmen that I will talk with - the youngsters  may talk at, but it is not a conversation.  Given the lead time I will use Defender, Jamestown or Hamilton.

I also avoid buying things from the Big Box that has been rebranded, example their caulk vs. BoatLife.

I should add that the friends I have that work for "the Big Box" know this and we still get along well.
