I feel conflicted sometimes about buying from Hobbyking, but in most circumstances, the items that I would have bought originated from China, find their way to Hobbico(Tower Hobbies), or whatever corporation Horizon is, then find their way to the LHS. If someone in my area would reasonably (I don't mean a 2X markup) resell the original HK items, I would shop locally more often. I don't want to drive the LHS out of business, but I can't afford to pay their prices. I especially can't in good conscience pay their prices when I know that it could be had for 2 or 3 times less.
