Does anyone remember when L.L. Bean was an outfitter instead of a department store?

i just checked out their site and !!! i cannot believe the prices on that stuff. there is "you get what you pay for", there is "good stuff", and then there is "youve been had!"

I remember when LL Beans was just a small store. The clerk would have a cot by the register. If you came in at 3 in the morning on your way to the Allagash you might wake him up.
