Except for when retailers in the US get all bent out of shape and bitch to the distributors about selling across borders because they can no longer gouge the shit out of consumer

Fixed that for you. My wholesale through US channels is often more than what I retail it for. The importers often want minimum orders of 20-100k to sell direct so have to go through a wholesaler and thus an additional middleman. Best are the middlemen who also sell direct, often for basically the same as wholesale. Grant Hughes |

That's fair, I shouldn't blame the retailer. It's a ridiculous system in this day and age that is archaic though. Makes it so difficult to supply parts, as you are aware
