And of course there are some that would consider the $20 too high to pay
To me it's a metter of time and priority.
If you 'really' hjave the time and enjoy the scouring of the offerings and yardsales, you'll have more chance of getting the lower prices.
In the retail world, price seems to be falling more into it's number 4-5 position for people getting what they get and where they get it.
Convenience, pdoduct appropriateness, product knowlkedge, selection, customer service, and knowing that the business actually and sincerely cares about them are the reasons people shop where they shop and also why they stop going to certain places..
Like a good job, pay is down on the list, but others still obsess over the simplest-to-measure parameter and common denominator and suffer ever more in many a case.
I'd rather spend (invest)my time doing other things than just searching the best price on something. I make above minimum wage and often pay the bargain hunter finder a premium for what they do well.
like many, if it's more of a gottahave, the value is higher.
Happy hunting! (but that's a healthy price for the TA cage, so I better hold the ones I have)
