Would you drive further if the item in question is something specific that you have been looking to find for at least a month and a half?
I have been searching for a specific pair of discontinued Pier 1 counter stools for our island for a while now. I just finally found a pair w/the cushions for $75 but I would have to drive 2 hours one way to get them.
I agree with pp. Find something else to do in that town or along the way so you're not in the car for 4 hours straight. Also, see if they will meet you 1/2 way. Who knows, maybe they have friends, family, or work in your town or a town inbetween and you could get lucky.

Unless I'm already going to the area, or can come up with a good reason to go to that area (other than the CL listing) I'll drive maybe 2 hours one-way if it's something I really want. I don't make special trips just for CL.
