[C320-list] Price matching

[Brad]

I bought all of my supplies this spring from WM, and they matched every add I presented to them.  No fuss, no muss.  Also I had the paint delivered to the store, and didn’t have to pay the hazardous shipping fee, or any shipping at all!

I am OK with this model for the real expensive stuff like paint.  Otherwise it makes them somewhat expensive for the smaller stuff you may not be able to find or stuff that is WM proprietary.

I believe that West Marine ceased price matching a few years ago. I found
that I was buying less than a third  of my previous purchases from WM after
that.
I feel that buying a resale item off the shelf shouldn't cost me a premium
because a store is inefficient.
