Likely only partially true in reality. The orders are probably fulfilled by a business like Guitar Center on the backend. Think of the Sears web page as a "window" into some one else's warehouse for musical instruments.

The lines are very much blurred these days with online retailers.

Buyer beware!

As for the "marketplace" trend of one retailer showing items sold by other, third party retailers, I really don't like it. I go to websites to see what I might find when I go to the store. It's really getting hard to do that. For example, I don't like stopping at Home Depot and not finding what I saw on their website.

I remember back in '84 looking through a Sears catalog and they had the Stratocaster in there for sale with a photograph and a lengthy write up, I remember thinking it was really cool and I wanted one so bad.

I once saw an Affinity Strat Pak for sale at the Iron Skillet truck stop on I-10 in Casa Grande, Jason.

I'm guessing they'll have them in airport vending machines before too long.

:lol:
