Survival of the fittest!! If the guy in his basement can sell on the web for a low price, the hobby shop can also. They don't need to shut down, but they can supplement business. Most choose not to, and then blame others for their failure. The LHS near me has it's address published in Walthers circulars that I get, stating that they participate in Walthers sales, but they do not. 100% list price on everything, no matter what. <br /> <br />The same thing applies to books and magazine subscriptions. If I can buy Kalmbach books at Amaqzon for 20-50% off list, why doesn't Kalmbach sell them for that? I can renew my magazine subscription through a clearing house for $20, but Kalmbach wants $30. Does that make sense??? <br /> <br />I am building my little empire for my enjoyment, not to support another business. If I can buy for less somewhere else, that's where the money goes. If you look for the best deal on your house, new car, washing machine, etc, why not model rr'ing supplies?
