I understand that it is important to support local shops, but (having run a small shop a long time ago) I also know that there is (was) a lot of profit on gear imported from the US (batteries, motors, etc.).
I don't have a problem buying a kit (such as a B4 for GBP150) here in the UK, but I have noticed that the cheapest 6-cell packs start at around GBP50 - this is much more expensive than in the US.
