There is still a bug in the software, or more probably, my computer skills are inadequate. So, I will reply to my own "header". I asked recently for three companies to quote on something (sorry, I can't be more specific here, but a more or less standard product). The local company (and obviously the preferred supplier), quoted €16,500. The out of town supplier quoted €11,300 and the "I work in town, but I'm not local" supplier, quoted, €13.500. A fourth company quote was then obtained, coming in at €12,750. When we first moved to Italy, eight years ago, we would never have challenged the local equilibribrium, but now I have no hesitation in obtaining competing quotes.
