Do you suppose they are making any money at $9.99. I suppose yes. So normally $12.00 more seems a bit like a bit of gouging. I understand they are a specialty retailer so need to have bigger margins to cover the lower volumes and high cost of holding rare inventory for long periods but this confirms to me that their a bit out of line on pricing quite often.

I have a lot of fun near my home where a Harbor Freight is 20 feet away fom Rockler.

You suck.

For me I have Woodcraft 1 hour away.
HF 1 hour away.

Just can't get there easily.

Rockler doesn't exist for me unless it's online.
