Good News and Bad News. The good news, just picked-up Galveston Jetty and Prices Creek. The bad news, my dealer will only be carrying North and South Carolina Lights. They will however order any for me. This means no "looky-touchy" before buying.
Tha kind of puts you between a rock and a hard place. I can't blame your dealer for not displaying HL's that he or she knows won't sell that well in their area, but many sales could go south because the product isn't on display catching consumer eyes.
When I first started collecting, I do remember visiting many dealers within a rather lengthy radius from my home. It was fun to look at the various HL's in person that I hadn't seen before. It led me to buying lights I hadn't considered buying before that time.
I feel your reference to "looky touchy" is important. You see it, you touch it, you like it, you'll buy it.
