Also one other item. They buy straight from China at a lower price then the LHS. Also in most cases the LHS is buying from the same M/A. I can not buy from China at the same price as MA because of the volume and contracts signed. I had to stop putting Traxxes cars in the store because of the very low profit margin to stay close to MA. Look at your LHS at think about truck lots of stuff sitting in back, that is what it would take to buy from the manufactour. The main wholesalers in the country have contracts that would keep me from doing this even if i could. Dennis
Well that make more sense now
I know it goyt to be tuff for the LHS owners they are really limited to the local modelers for business
and when it come to price that makes them about as loyal as an alley cat I'm sure.
I go to my LHS about once a week even though he rarly has what I need
