A $2000 bike at an LBS cost them $1400. From that profit they have to pay salaries, rent, utilities and all other business expenses. They make squat. They make more money selling 20 tubes and a few fricken helmets.

If you see a $2000 bike on sale on ebay for $900 it is either grey market goods or Chinese knock off crap. Buyer beware.
