Cool Breeze...the thing that strikes me about the reluctance of the shop owner not wanting to get on line on his own time is...hey...do it during work hours! I get that he wouldn't want to spend his home time worrying about business, but during the time where he's not waiting on people is a great time to keep current with the trends.

Good points are made about the brands that sell well versus the newer, more risky new blends. I'm hoping that one of the guys who are a boutique blend honcho weighs in to tell me that my model about introducing of newer blends blow, or whether I be onto something.

Keep those ideas flowing in, folks! Some grateful responses so far!
