We do have one local business man who really does his best to make a good deal. He runs a truck/boat/rv accessory shop. First time after he opened up I went in looking for some nerf bars for my pickup. I'd found the brand I wanted online for around $300 shipped, he wanted $375 for the ones he had on hand. I told him the price I had found them and told him if he could get with $25 of that I would buy them from him. Not only did he sell them from $325, he installed them for free!
Now whenever I go to his shop looking for something first thing he says is "what can you get them for online, including shipping?". He usually gets close enough to that price that I buy from him (as long it is not below his cost, he's not that desperate for business!).
