C Crane does have excellent customer service
however their prices for radios and similar things
are rather on the high side. I put them in the same
merchandise/marketing class as Brookstone, LL Bean,
New England Candle Company and similar retailers.

I would like to buy from C Crane and similar "high end"
catalog retailers, but when I can go to Grove Enterprises
and similar outlets who carry the same products for often
30% less.....guess where I'm going to shop!

It's like buying gasoline. Real-World example: The Shell station
this afternoon had Regular going for $2.41. Right across the
street there was a Citgo station selling Regular for $2.32

Take a guess where I filled up at this afternoon! (grin)
