Places like CC make money because of Joes like me starting the hobby and not knowing any better on where to go. I started in December and I'm totally addicted. I went to CC because they "LOOKED" the best. $5k later I learned. It's that simple. People will pay because they don't know any better. AH is 2 miles away from me but I avoided it til recently because it didn't look professional. Very random as far as what's available. I just recently discovered PW and I think it's an acceptable compromise for me regarding price compared to CC and selection. So even though I don't go to CC anymore they got me for several $k. And when I'm there I always see people like me who ask tons of questions because they are new and eat up there info and build a trust. So talk about overhead, competition from large retailers, margins, what's in front and what's in back don't me jack! 8)
