I dont think we see the other side of the price tags at our LHS, they have to pay the, heat ,elec, rent,tax,phone, alos a certain % for use of credit cards and returns if they dont give store credit, paycheck to some that knows the hobby.
Dont get me wrong i will support when i can but sometimes the LHS gest cocky because they know you have to wait to get items shipped to you. We are all consumers and we want the best deal for our hard earned money.
