I hear you and understand where you are coming from. BUT the site sponsors put out money to have their banner on here. You are free to purchase an item where ever you want, but to have a posting on here that advertises products that under cut the sponsors prices would not be wise. Not only would it decrease the sales of the sponsors but the other guy is getting FREE advertising. That would led to the sponsors withdrawing their ad and then eventually the forum would likely close down or have to find another means of funding. The site owner has chosen for this site to be sponsor funded.
On another note.... What is a fixed income??... :Shrug::Shrug: If it means you can't spend more than your taken in, Then Everyone is on a fix income... Unless your the Government, Then you can just print more money...

Wizard......There is nothing wrong with shopping around, we all do it. And everybody likes a good deal and a lower price. But enthusiast sites like this that are FREE for us users can only exist with sponsors that pay to advertise on this site. It the same on nearly all message boards that do not charge the users (you and me) a fee to use the site. If you find a better price on an item that is also sold by one of TT's sponsors you might want to contact that sponsor and see if they will price match for you, or better yet for the rest of usOr...I doubt the site leaders would mind if you chose to send a PM to a needy member with a tip on where to save a few bucks. But a thread on undercut prices would be like you walking into Target and announcing on the intercom that shoppers could get the latest have-to-have widget for a cheaper price.....at Walmart.

I support this idea, but some times I go to the vendor that makes the item. I get rid of the middle man so to speak. there for the article is cheaper. Some sites sell item made for them by someone else and ask a higher price. So if u get rid of the middle man guess what u get??? A cheaper price for the same item.
A loss of the middle class.
One thing I have learned as I grew older is the price isn't everything or the only thing.
I look for good customer service and support before, during and after the sale. I will pay a little more for the same item if I know if something needs to be repaired or replaced I will not have hours of aggravation and voice mails.
I like most of your idea of a fixed income. If you are retired from the military and live off that and social security you will find out what living on a fixed income is. Not much chance of a pay raise just look what the government did. No pay raise for me. I understand the bills must be paid but if I find something cheaper and same item guess where I buy it. Sorry but I do live off a fixed income, and at the age of seventy three not much chance of getting a good paying job. just try and find one, if you do let me know I just might go back to work ever being disabled.
If this upsets some ones apple cart just let me know and I will just move on.
Thanks for your understanding.
Most good sponsor will price match.
