Thanks for this story.  Next time I'm looking for used tools I'll visit Clark or Pickles businesses and ignore the outsiders in Spenard.  If I have a choice to buy from a local business, instead of a big chain, I always try to "go local;"  even if I have to pay a bit more to a local business than I would to a big chain owned by outsiders (like Carrs, Fred Meyer, Brown Jug, Gander Mountain, Wallmart, Cabalas, Target, Bed. Bath & Beyond, REI, just to name a few).   I try to "buy local," because my money, instead of being sucked out of the state,  stays here and benefits all of us in the long run.
