margin
If the markup from eight to twelve pounds is scandalous you have absolutely no idea about business at all. In almost any enterprise, to include shipping and handling for that profit margin would be rare to say the least.
You must realise this is a small niche industry. How many parts that are stocked by the shops will actually be sold? They dont know and neither do you! Many model shops/online model stores have gone bankrupt recently, overstocked trying to cater for everyone, or charging too low a price for business to continue.
Maybe you should look at the margins/turnover at your place of work, unless you work for the state or a charity (possibly they are the same!!!!!).
Unfortunately you seem to think that someone making a quite reasonable level of profit is wrong?
