Default HobbyKing ??

I have never suscribed to this company, but keep getting pop ups. I guess like anything else, cars, boats, etc. Looking at the site, I am amazed at the prices. Is there anything from them that carrys a different name brand, vs. where I regularly buy from, Horizon, Tower, etc.? I have been paying top dollar for JR digital servos, in the $100+ range. Is this a factory direct company, that makes product under different labels, only various color schemes ?

If radio gear can be connected here, a lot of dough saved could be realized. I just looked at JR servo extensions. I am paying $9.95 each, they have about 6 in a package, $6.95, plus postage.
Any good advice appreciated, as I am a little leery of cheap stuff. Or is the markup of 1K % normal business ? I am sure some things cost less, and other products are close to the same price we are paying here. I understand the term, "loss leaders".
