I keep coming back to this because this thread is really starting to and has been interesting.
How Much? Back to supporting my LDS, I would for $50-75 more than the online price, but not more than $100. When I see a LDS sell the same BC'D for $600 and online it's $420, that just tells me Im an idiot if I want to buy it there. That LDS, who i may visit a couple times a year has not given me an additional $180 worth of value for purchasing that item there.
I understand bottom line, break even, etc. and I do wish I could support my LDS on a 100% basis, if you look at my previous post you can see by the money i've spent, I HAVE.
But I still have my future wife's bc and reg's to purchase, either buy online and save $500-600 or buy at my LDS. I could use that $500-600 for a dive trip to try out that new equipment.
If the LDS was between $75-$150 within online price on package I would, but they are $510 off.
What would you do?
