Well most things locally will be considerably higher than online. Price
to pay for being able to get it today :)

There is a batter place downtown, Sunn Battery Co. If you buy batteries
from them its once price. If you buy from them, but via eBay, with
shipping, it tends to be less than if you pick them up locally.  Though
not sure if they still sell on eBay.

Which is great for the most part. But then what do you do with the old
batteries? A couple times I got them to lower the price locally so I
could give them my old batteries same time. But was quite funny how it
was cheaper to get something locally online than actually getting it
from the local business...

Thats what the place on the Southside specialized in, wonder if it was
Rexel and they moved. This was back in the NMCI days 03-04, all the
cable, Panduit and other stuff going Mayport and NAS Jax came from the
place on the Southside. I bought some scissors and other things from
them at the time. They were totally shocked to have someone in their
retail store trying to make a purchase ;)
