Thank you, no. I like my little slice of free speech space on the interwebs.

This just showed up on my Instagram feed. I bought my K-1 and 28-~105 over-the-counter at this Dealer.

BUT - No Pentax instructors - 2 days of classes, Nikon, Oly and Panny, plus Delkin and Savage and store staff. The Insta image is stretched to fit and the commenters are hammering Ricoh Imaging.

My son owns a Lacrosse specialty equipment store. In the 9 months he has been open:
  • The competing, established business has closed

  • The local diversified athletic gear chain has removed Lacrosse gear from all but their flagship store

  • The big national chain store has reduced Lacrosse gear floor space

He personally visits coaches, attends games, has varied and desireable merchandise in stock, offer custom ‘stringing’ of Lacrosse stick heads, employs knowledgeable floor salespeople (part-time male and female college lacrosse players) plus is on the floor himself with his full-time Store manager.

Success at retail is simple, it just isn’t easy. It is mostly about hard work, and then a philosophy to sell the customer what is right, not push the most profitable merch. He has that reputation. He prices at 10% above online dealers and people are happy to pay the premium.
