Yeah maybe, but the mark up bit isn't right, well not for this shop anyway, i work in a shop - and clothes in high street maybe be 100% mark up (like NEXT) but bike shops we're lucky to get a 3rd on it, and that's if you lucky. Suzuki gear for instance isn't worth us selling, all that ducati london south stuff is worth selling cos we bid for it cheap when they went bust, and we can sell it cheap to customers so they know they're getting a bargain, but we can still stay afloat at the same time.
But it's amazing how some stuff should not be that expensive if it WAS made in China!
