This is a very touching Christmas story but doesn’t answer the question whether you would pay a 30% mark-up for the very same product if you can avoid it.
Yes, I paid more for that sweater and was OK with it. I wanted the person to be able to return it if they didn't like it. And I like that store and want to see them survive.
I hold no ill against people who comparison shop. I was only simply pointing out what I think is the disconnect that I sometimes see on this forum. People enjoy lamenting the death of industries because it gives them a sweet sentimental pleasure, but many don't actually support these businesses.
