It can be so much fun to browse for a half hour or so, just taking everything in. Almost once a week I visit my shop for about 45 minutes, and when I leave, even if I've just spend ten bucks on a couple packs I feel like I've gotten so much more. It may seem that shops are more expensive online, and they sometimes are, but remember that you're also not paying for shipping (and tax MIGHT be "built in" - it is at mine, making even $1 First Edition packs cheaper than retail) plus you're supporting a great local business. And most importantly, you don't have to wait to bust the wax you spent your money on!!! That, and if you trust the dealer, you can be completely sure you're getting an unsearched product.
