The LQS depend upon you buying something while they are there. That is how they make their money. On line stores do not have you in their stores buying other items. They have to make money on the monthly charges. If you are paying $500 for a BOM, not including backing, then you are paying too much. Shop around. You will find some that are cheaper.
