What sectional ?
This has to be a first. I went to buy a new Chicago sectional from our FBO
at C15. Clow International Airport. The FBO no longer sells sectional charts
to the public (pilot). Just to current students. Ain't that a graber.
Reson is "Every one has them on a 'frigen' Ipad or something. I get stuck with as many as 30 or 40 charts and the feds won't credit me for them."
(He used a stronger word than frigen)
So now I have to buy something I can see sectional charts on. Now I'm gona use a strong word here!!!!

Or you can order them on line from one of many vendors who will be happy to sell them to you.
Unless you're looking for an excuse to buy a new toy.

Yep, the FAA changed the way they distribute paper products some time back and a lot of FBOs no longer handle charts for the reason you stated.
You may purchase paper or digital charts from the FAA or many other online sources:

Sectionals have become so cluttered over the past 35 years, they have become almost useless. There are many things that no longer need to be there. And are in the way of information that you need. The topo lines drive me nuts!! The shading is enough to scare the **** out of you. They are useless and just make it harder to read the chart. Whats more important, deep water ship channel or V6 195*? Do we care about the name of the wilderness area? And can we tell the difference? Embassy Suites, as if we can tell that from the air.
At current price, I would spend $72.00 in charts just to fly to Oshkosh........ I mean Air Venture.

I keep old charts for paper backup and just keep FF, GRT and 496 updated.

Rich, I feel for you.
If it was up to me we would still be looking at round gages 
If you are set on paper charts you have all the info you need, end of story.
I have recently succumbed to the iPad/foreflight idea and you know what,
It's amazing what you get for less than $100 per year.
Yes, you'll have to spend some money on a iPad, galaxy or other tablet but there is a whole new world on those devices, give'm a try you'll love it.
