Retail at $99.99 (which most dedicated hobby shops price close to) is TWICE that of wholesale of $49.99 ???
That is what is WRONG with pricing by virtually ALL hobby companies other than Semroc.
Even at that price, it seems reasonable and I will probably buy at least 2.
It just infuriates me that I am paying TWICE what GP sells them for wholesale.
I can just see the same structure for a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu or Ford Fusion that GM or Ford sells to the dealership for $20K and the dealership tries to get customers to pay $40K. Would NEVER happen.
Price structures like this are exactly why I would just as soon see more direct from manufacturer sales.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
