I mentioned to the manager of my favorite chain grocery that lots of people were using their phones to "price compare" and he said it's killing his business. He has to discount every item to the lowest price customers can bring up on their phones just to be competitive. It's a vicious cycle of price and re-price. It's a buyers market because they have lots of information just a touch away.
I even have a program that tells me when a price falls to the point I want it, or "lowest ever" price. It's called "Camel Camel" and it's saved me thousands$.
As far as kids; they have many more choices of how to spend their time than the former generation ever dreamed of. I doubt model trains are high on their lists. One of my grandsons loves trains, but if I mention taking the drones out to fly, he's ALL over that... goggles on before we're out the door.
