No it isn't. It's because the market is relatively captive. Many
disabled and old people don't shop around. They just go back to the
shop where they bought the scooter (which probably cost them twice the
price the shop paid.)


The market is not captive. The disabled have the SAME option as anyone
else to shop elsewhere.

This is no different to many uniformed people using the DIY sheds where
the price is often twice+ that most of us reading this group would pay.

That's the military, police and fire service for you! :-)
