Yes I agree ebay is so cheap.

Actually shops in the UK are closing weekly due to being unable to sell much due to big competition. In America its a billion dollar industry but over here in the UK its tiny in comparison. Owning a model shop here is very hard to do as the rents high, electricity, gas, water council tax and believe it or not a lot of these shops cant afford to pay themselves a wage so dont expect things for nothing as there is always an over head that these shops need to pay. I may be sponsered but am happy to support certain shops when I can as without them we wont have this hobby.
