[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by trainluver1 I agree with MisterBeasley. The internet is one of the things that's killed the business of hobby shops, that and computer games which kids find a lot more interesting than hobbies such as model railroading I'm sad to say. I have to admit, I can sit right here with my bank card and order almost anything I want without having to leave the house, and I like that very much. Besides, most hobby shops have raised their prices to make up for their loses, so I come out better by buying off ebay or from on-line train shops. It's just a change of the times... trainluver1 [/quote] Very Very true, plus u dont have to deal with annoying people. [^] But this is soo true. you figure the average mark up at a hobby store is at least 35/40percent. I know only being 16 and wanting to be a web designer the web is an awesome place espically when ur looking at trains, but if i had 100 dollars i would rather get a nice kato rs1 off ebay for 50 than pay 150 at my LHS, granted better service when purchased there, but hey, whos not up for saving some money, and gas! an unfortunately, i really wouldnt mind seeing one of my hobby shops go. they dont even carry N Scale!
