I'm not defending overpriced resellers (I've seen the same items vary in
price by factors of 3 or more), but you are talking very low volumes and
a niche market. To market a bag of clay to Koi folks is a much
different thing than marketing to cat lovers.

===========================
Marketing? The worst case I ever saw was the jeans a "snob" friend of mine
bought at the Mall some time ago. She's too good to shop at Wally-World.
She feels the shops at the Mall have better "quality" since they're so
expensive. She paid $49.99 for a pair of jeans that looked very familiar to
me. I checked my stock of jeans and sure enough - I had the same exact pair
and paid $16.99 for them. Only the label was different and in a different
place. We could find no other difference.

The prices of things for ornamental fish hobbyists are obscene........

McKoi.... the frugal ponder...
EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries
before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED.
Do not feed the trolls.
