I'v bought plenty of stuff from GC. If i need something right away I'll sometimes buy it at a local GC. Their prices are pretty good , although a still look to see what kind of prices are available through mail order. The thing I hate about them is how they advertise a HUGE BLOWOUT SALE every weekend, then when you get down there and they really don't have shit, except a couple of items that are marked down a few bucks. Marketing I guess...the old bait and switch trick. One thing worth mentioning though is that the sales people work on commision...so...shop for your stuff at the end of the month if you can, you'll be suprised how much lower they will go on the price, just to make a few more sales at the end of the month. Good luck
