Default RE: LHS Rant!


ORIGINAL: rgburrill

Maybe someone has already said this so it may be repeating info. But when I first got into this hobby the owner's of the LHSs were also fliers and members of the local clubs. I think that is a rarity today when you are talking about the franchises. The 2 independent stores I have been to here having plenty of kits - and owners who fly. But the franchises don't - kits nor fly.
LHS was also similar, owner was quite honest that he enjoyed paying wholesale for his equipment while his customers payed retail, that was the benefit of being the owner. That's the way the world works.

Not sure what the difference is when buying the same item from HK or TH or the LHS, where the money goes is not my problem.
