Thread: Online only epidemic?

Tweet

Is it me, or has a TON of props at spirit online been badged 'online only', recently? I don't remember seeing so many with that label until my visit to the site tonight. Just what the heck WILL a spirit store carry?!

I, for one, am glad you brought this up. I (and yes, this is a strong word) hate that almost everything I want nowadays is only available on-line. I don't mind driving. I am tired of paying double what I should for something because everything costs a minimum of $20 to ship. If I am commited to buying something I want it now, $%#^&%, not three weeks from now. I want to touch, see, and understand what it is I'm spending my hard-earned money on. I don't want to track every purchase I make, and wonder if it will make it to my house. I'm over worrying about id theft because I've sent my CC number and five other pieces of personal ID across the ethernet for the upteanth time. Stop the madness.

Thank you for this opp. to vent.

I agree Dan. While a lot of these props look good in print and from the short videos they provide, I'm not dropping that kind of money on something unless I see it in person. I'm hoping our two local storeswill carry some of the nice stuff, but if not, I'm not ordering on line.

Not every prop is online only, but when I was looking through the animated props and new for 2011, all of a sudden it seemed like a lot was online only. Looks like most of this years animated stuff isn't just online only, thankfully. But I have to say, a large amount of product is online only. More this year than last, seems like.
