Local Hobby Shops Price Themselves Out of Business!

Something else I didn't think of is the fact that less people are getting involved in hobbies in general. It's easier to sit in front of the tube with an X-Box or order pay-per-view than to actually go out and buy a hobby kit of some sort. When I go to the hobby shop near me for plastic kit models, it is filled with fat old men buying R/C stuff. I don't think I have ever seen a young person in there. Even Walmart, K-Mart, and Meijer don't carry the plastic kits and paints they used to. The market for a lot of hobbies is disappearing. I don't think many "Model Railroad Only" hobby shops are going to make it. They need to diversify some.
