Think what you must but it's happening. I dont know anything about national suppliers. All I know is I have seen it with my own eyes. For at least the last 18 months that I have lived here anyway.


I understand the concept of prices by location, reputation and variables like that, and a variance is to be expected. But when you have a $400 or more difference is a bit too much if you ask me.
