Hah, you say that now, but I know of your various Black Ops outfits, and will take every precaution accordingly. Certainly one or two hefeweisse elementary channeling exercises, in Brookian style, for one thing.

Our FLGS claims to use "list price", but it's far from clear which "list" this would be. I think ordering wholesale from the UK is the killer; I've ordered _retail_ from Germany and the US and paid less than they reputedly do wholesale for some items, which is more than a little alarming. I think they find it difficult to order in volume that would justify using a non-local distributer, and with those prices, hard to increase volume (which I'm sure has a natural ceiling anyway). Catch-22, corollary 3b.
Anyhow, this is getting rampagingly off-topic, so until I can drag it back on with how much they duly charge for HQ...
Cheers,
Alex.
