Been reading this thread and I would just like to say this. Being from Australia and paying what I pay for gear it absolutely amazes me some of the stories you guys tell me about customers bargaining for things under $10 and complaining about the cost of things when they are so cheap in the states. When my son eventually grows up and wants gear I'm expecting to pay about $1000 when he first starts playing then get him top of the line stuff no matter what the costs. Maybe I have more money than some but seriously what you pay $300 for a top end protective set and people complain? Gah would drive me mental if I were you guys. I cannot wait to come over and go to an LHS and give you guys my money for the services you provide.
