Why is Camping World so EXPENSIVE?

Here's what Camping World is really good for: Going into to look at and hold an item that you finally decide to buy ... then going home and ordering that item over the Internet if you can find it with free shipping and no sales tax.

I do that a lot with CW and lots of other brick and mortar stores. For instance, I just bought an item over the Internet from a supplier that was not only way below brick and mortar stores (as well as other Internet sources) ... but ALSO with free shipping and no sales tax. I usually can even beat Walmart prices when ordering shipping-free and tax-free over the Internet.

Why waste time, real money, and gas money when you can just walk out on the front porch and pick up the box it's in?

As long as you bought something online that doesn't need to be installed that you can't do yourself.... I own Shop with a store-front, keep buying items online that need to be installed at a shop like mine and watch the labor rate keep going up. You the consumer have it all WRONG, the store-front guys aren't over pricing, it's the internet guys selling too cheap! In my business, aftermarket car and truck accessories the manufactures are getting a little fed up with these internet guys selling below what they should sell at.

I like CW and visited their store many times when they were near me and have never had a bad experience. Wait till the little scrawny internet guy gets a letter from his state that says you will pay tax just like the store-front guy.... Watch his prices go up!

If those websites are so good why do some of you waste the guys time at best buy or come in my shop cause you want to buys your wheels, tires and lift kit online but are clueless about what fits and don't trust the nifty app guide online. I know we all want the best deal but if all the stick and brick stores are gone it will suck big time !!
