Is the internet killing our hobby shops?

I think Ray pretty much summed it up. <br />I can attest to the fact that most of LHS in my area (Ontario, Canada) are run by retirees. <br />They still think $1USD=$1.5CAD, they still think MSRP is the minimum price and actually charge higher than that. <br />In one of the stores here in Kitchener there is Kato SD-70MAC for $204USD plus 15%tax (this is canada) <br />The fact that I can get it for $69.99 at Trainworld doesn't seem to have any effect. And that Kato has been sitting there for over a year. <br /> <br />If it wasn't for internet with its affordable prices I won't even be in this hobby.
