 		 #186146 - Does anyone buy components at a "local" store.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Even in this country, that's not how people buy components!

Hobbyists have always bought mail-order - these days the ordering is online, but it's basically the same thing.

And professionals buy through distributors (or direct) - again, unlikely to be "local stores".
