Some transactions on the Brick sites are easy, professional and... bland. You find your parts, you check out, you get a nice invoice, you pay and you both exchange pleasant feedback. This place ain't like that. Here, you peek in the door and the owner shouts, "What's up Bro!" like you're his best friend that he hasn't seen in forever. You wander around looking for a while. "If you need anything I'll be out back!" When you're ready to end your transaction, you might have a discussion about kitten memes or hot rods or transcendentalism, who knows? You're welcome to pay in lots of different ways. Maybe you don't have exact change but some postage stamps and a candy bar will suffice to finish off the total.
Maybe not exactly true, but that's how I felt. Open, friendly, and real. And this dude knows how to customize a wanted list notification and invoice. Rock. On.
