I used to work in a model shop, a lot of the RRP only had a mark up of between 24 & 33%. I've worked in other industries where the mark ups are between 100 & 500%. We wouldn't be able to afford our hobby if that was the case.
Personally I use my local shop for everything, if they haven't got it they can get it, I can walk in their and have a friendly chat with them. All this competition in price is killing it for most shops. People should try and support their local shops where they can, if they don't you won't have a local shop.
