Puzzling to me....

Why some online and bnm shops are charging so much for hardware/tanks/pvs whatever? Seen it mostly online, and I can kinda understand a shop charging a little more. Our 1 local shop is a little high, but not as bad as some of these online vendors I've seen. $95 for an mvp2? $70 for an istick? Won't post links cuz I don't wanna send anyone their way to buy anything. Just amazes me how these places stay in business charging ridiculous prices for devices.

Even tho I can't afford anything I'm still always looking to see what deals are out there.

It's a free market: they're free to charge what they want, and you're free to shop someplace else. Simple as that.

They will keep charging outrageous prices as long as some people are willing to pay them.

Caveat Emptor.

Many buyers, especially the ones who don't shop online or don't read vape forums, they just go to a shop the same as they bought cigs.
Then, it's the luck of the draw whether they get ripped off or not. If you are new to a product and do not research it, how do you know what is excessive pricing?

I've never bought a thing from a B&M store. Even though there is a head shop/vape store that is nearly across the street, I don't plan on it either.

Our local store (only one for 50 miles or so) is okay, bought my aspire tank there for like $7, bought heads and juices there, nothing major but for convenience when u need it I can justify spending a little extra for something I need right now, mostly heads & juices. My wife said the same thing, if people are buying they're not gonna change their prices.

I buy from my local B&M, unless it's really too expensive (i.e. more than the price online + shipping), or they don't have the stuff I need. I figure I may as well support local businesses for the same price if I can.
