I get phone calls/PMs too, and I really appreciate.

Tell the LFSs you are shopping at that you, as a customer, would be in a better position to purchase more goods more frequently if you were able to check stock or view a New & Noteworthy type page from home/work.

I think a lot of businesses rely on walk-in clients, and they believe that a lot of them will purchase more goods that way. Sadly though I think it works in reverse sometimes. People won't drive across the city or into town if they don't know if its going to be worth it.

Nice of you people from Calgary to rub a little saltwater in our wounds.

I got more if you want some!

I'm not sure if you shop online, but there are a few online vendors who are good at getting back to you for particular wish-list items. Pm me if you want some names.

P.S. The corner pentagon tank = awesome. I love the design/layout of it!

EXACTLY! I can't be driving in everyday just to see if something good came. I would end up giving the store more business if I knew what they had when it arrived.
