Tim, you're dead on. Although the small hardware stores are dropping like flies, the better ones are doing quite well by stocking stuff that people actually need, and charging accordingly. There is nothing that gets my dander up like making a trip to HD to buy a common item, only to find that either they don't stock it, they no longer stock it, or they do stock it but you have to buy a box of a hundred even though you just need one. And even if they do stock the item, you can't find it half the time because they moved it to a different part of the store and nobody knows where. Also, it doesn't seem to matter if you find what you need or not, you waste at least half an hour anytime you go to HD. I make it a point to visit my local hardware store at least once a week and buy something, even if I could buy it cheaper at HD. I fear for the day the last mom and pop hardware store closes.
