I have to agree that the price charged is a bit high, but having been a small businessman myself, I also have to agree with what Ed Cregger says. It's not just the spread between cost and selling point, but all those other pesky overhead costs like employees (gotta have 'em) their benefits, buildings, those PITA IT departments that take forever to get little things done, inventory carrying costs, insurance, tithes to Caeser...... you get the picture. It never ends. I always try to buy my stuff local at the LHS even if he is a little higher because I know how thin the margins are. It's worth it to me to have him close and open!
