That is what is WRONG with pricing by virtually ALL hobby companies other than Semroc.

Even at that price, it seems reasonable and I will probably buy at least 2.
It just infuriates me that I am paying TWICE what GP sells them for wholesale.

I can just see the same structure for a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu or Ford Fusion that GM or Ford sells to the dealership for $20K and the dealership tries to get customers to pay $40K. Would NEVER happen.

Price structures like this are exactly why I would just as soon see more direct from manufacturer sales.



Do you buy a fountain drink when you go out to eat? In that circumstance you are paying a dollar or two for something that costs about 5 cents.
