Stuff like K&S brass and certain adhesives (ACC) I purchase at an LHS that only sells R/C cars and those little R/C helicopters that they are constantly flying around the inside of the shop all the time. It's a very loosly run operation. I was told if I didn't see it they could order it. I asked if the ordered from Walthers ... they asked, "Who?" 'Nuff said!
I have so much stuff from before I had to take a forced hiatus from the hobby, consumables are pretty much all I have bought since climbing back on the horse. I have bought four "Masterpiece" Chrysler Airflows and both a "Sylvan" Pontiac and Plymouth on-line. I must say, these being my first ever on-line purchases, I was impressed! Note that the "Sylvan" autos were ordered from GreenWay Products (CLICK HERE) and from the time I ordered to when the UPS guy rang my doorbell was only three days ... and they're in western Pennsylvania! It takes a week and a half for my medication to get here from the VA Clinic in Ft. Myers, which is a 20 minute drive away! That's some incredible service!
However, if there was a REAL hobby shop closer than the 50-some miles it is to Sarasota, I'd shop there pretty much exclusively.
