I guess the politically correct thing to say about the 5mm price tags is that the gent in question is fairly optimistic =:-o
However, I think he's not very realistic... all he's accomplishing is to consume valuable shelf space with merchandise nobody wants... far better to sell it at cost and have it over with, then stock something somebody wants to buy!
After the 5mm price tags, it might seem like a bargain to his regulars.... :-)
Kit prices ARE somewhat the realm of the individual shop, however, the MSRPs of the new ones are causing sticker shock... I'm not sure that some subjects won't soon exceed their 1:1 equivalents...
I've pretty much quit buying as a response. For example, I'll only buy Trumpeter when it's 1/3 off or more. I know that's unreasonable in the other direction, but I suppose I could be deemed a model-mafia avenger (a nice position, since I have no other life).
