I think your best bet is to go local if you can. I have a good relationship with the personnel at the store I go to and get hooked up with discounts, freebies and samples all the time - not to mention the good advice when needed!

But in leiu of that - eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices is the way to go, oh and these guys are a sure bet on good prices...

the other thing about going local with lights is that shipping will kill you ... i'd rather give that bread to the local shop or save it by going used

Totally! - even if the price is close to what's on the web, you come out ahead by not paying shipping. And you don't have to wait for it, you got it in your hand and you are growing... lol

BTW - you can get a cheap microscope to view your trichomes with at Radio Shack for about $10.00 RadioShack.com

that said, i just bought ballast + bulb for a little 150HPS i need for $57 shipped, but would have paid at least 120+tax here. it just depends ... and takes some patience and research. i would love to have it, um, now ...
