Agree that extra online market is not good, but I am lucky and have an awesome, locally owned family shop right by my house (Guitar city / drum land in wheat ridge colorado). They are great, usually beat Guitar Center prices by ~10% via bonus gear or cash discounts, and has a more legit musician feel to the store.

If GC ends up closing, hope more local shops can benefit.

Amen. We've got a couple local music instrument stores here too.

But I feel for my buddies that make electronic music. They loved GC since they could try out the synthizers and drum machines before they bought.

In the EU online purchases can be returned for any reason within 2 weeks? ( not sure about that period though ).

In many cases, yes. It's called 'right of withdrawl.' There are quite a few exceptions though.
