You are correct, I think shops only got 8-10 bucks if that, Rcmike might know different as he works at a shop and they might have been part of that. If what some folks have said though is correct, that these people will never come to clubs and fly, never really be part of the whole club/ama thing, then I might venture a guess to say that this makes good business sense. Sort of like the guys at clubs that pay their full membership and only fly once or twice a year!
