I veiw this problem with mixed emotions. I see that the price of gas effects eveything. When the cost of material goes up $1.00 the cost of the product to the wholeseller goes up $1.15 (same percentage profit just a bigger sale). His selling price goes up an additional $.25 and then the shop has to raise their price to stay at the same percent so the additional cost to us could be an additional $.35. So a cost increase of $1.00 means a retail increase of $1.75. <br /> <br />I've found out that after I pay the S & H the LHS prices are very close to the mailorder prices and the LHS has it today. <br /> <br />After getting a royal screwing from Hobby Circle it'll take a long time for the Mail Order savings to match the LHS savings.
