| Smaller Audio/Video stores- Free delivery service I suspect that the amount of $$$ spent determines free delivery.

| Lay Off the Newbies! I've been here for twenty years and it's always been similar to what you describe. As @hilde45 has noted, you need to know the players and which ones know what they are talking about. It's that way on every BB I go too. | |
