And just as importantly, buy from a store with a customer-friendly
return policy.  Not Circuit City or CompUSA for example.  Both have
restocking fee policies, and while they might not always enforce them,
they _can_, and you shouldn't have to pay a 15% restocking fee on a
product you don't find satisfactory, for whatever reason.

If I buy locally I almost always buy from Office Max or Office Depot.
Since they do a lot of their business with business owners, and
they're aware they could all just pick the other major office store
(especially now that we have a Staples right in the middle of them)
they're still return-friendly - 30 days no questions asked on most
items, but double-check.
