I would probably buy it online seeing how it is cheaper but then again I would look for an online place that would allow returns because some places don't allow that. Just incase something is wrong with the equipment.
Yep you got it, I have thought about that as well. Unless you are buying from a trusted store that you have always bought from and never had a problem with,then i think you should go right over to the local store and touch, feel and buy your gear.
Ha I have been scammed a numerous amounts of times on Ebay. I didn't know the procedure at first but now I know. I can't believe how many people there are on there that are so fake.
