[quote]QUOTE: Some of the posts talk about getting a 35% discount. The standard retail discount is 40% for HO & N and. 30% for O. Much of the high end HO is only 30%. I can't see how anybody can consistantly offer 35% off of MSRP, pay the rent, utilities and put food on the table, The internet dealers do it by paying minimal rent, location not being a factor, and making their profit on a volume greatly larger than that possible to the LHS. [/quote] Yeah, a shop selling stuff for 35% off MSRP is selling himself into bankruptcy. I don't think many internet dealers can really survive at 5%. Besides, that's an inadequate return. You'd be better off putting your money almost anywhere else, which is an age old economic maxim. Mike Tennent
