I don't know what happened in the States as I don't know much about business there but Brick and Mortar shops is still relevant due to how small and mobile the business is. I've been buying a lot of online Stuff but I rather pick self collecting due to recognize and get close to the product. For me small business could help balance the small market due to competition and availability. I am definitely alright if the small business are using online for the payment transaction and do self payment and pay for the deposit. While the internet help us on buying an item by looking at the review I also it would hurt the business too on certain aspect because in some of the cases you need to look and do examination before buying it. That's where Brick and Mortar comes in. I'm still supporting small businesses doing business for the consumers for the sake of price competition and quality.

The only thing I do online is only payment or shopping on online commence looking for price before buying it. I mean that I still collect and buy stuff but I need to know in term of the prices that could compete with other vendor.
