over pricing to pay for there knowledge and info, better than just being over priced and not much "good" advice, everything at my LFS is double or more the price of online and some other pet stores...."petco" i made a point to find a few items there and then price them else where, LFS always marked up atleast 50%.

I found a couple of LFS in your area online, never checked them out though, they had good prices in there online store and would let you pick them up if you like instead of over nighting them, I will see if I can find them again and post them on here.
