No, shops have competitive prices up here as far as non-internet retailers go.
I just bought a FLX Buzzz and Z Comet both brand new for $11/each at one of the stores on my previous list.

Have you ever had a dragon in your store? What with the fire breathing, and the bad temper they are a menace, of course he has to charge more to replace all the burnt things.
I enjoyed their description of disc golf.
And I quote:
"Disc Golf Frisbees - Fly high playing everyman's golf!! The objective is to throw a disk into a basket sitting 2 to 3 above ground. Disc golf courses range in length from nine to eighteen holes and each hole is par three, with varying distances. The quiver of discs includes putters, drivers, of varying sizes. Mid-range discs are used for slow, stable flight, heavier discs for cutting through the wind, light discs for long sailing flights. The PDGA has 50,000 registered members and estimates that 12 million people have played the game. Disc throwing is snappier than traditional frisbee lofting."

Maybe they are charging so much because it floats. Or maybe they are just very very clueless.

The Groove is overpriced no matter where it's listed.
I remember seeing that website before. How much you want to bet me that they get a few suckers to take the bait?

They were probably gonna rip you off on shipping too, but decided not to because they're already taking you to the cleaners on the disc.
Thus, you save $9.

I wrote an appropriate review for the disc which "will be approved within the next 5 days".
