Well, by your standards, then Radio Shaft (heh-heh) should be taken to
task for ripping off the public for selling 9 cent transistors for 2
dollars, etc.  That's even MORE markup than this Dutch guy!  

I see nothing wrong with him charging those prices, because the laws of
supply and demand will assure that he won't get any business, plain and
simple.  What you should be doing instead of naysaying is start your own
parts supply and compete against him; just imagine all those Ferengi
PROFITZ!.  But then, I've never known you to take that road, you're a
dyed in the wool naysayer.
