They trick their customers into thinking they get a better price, but in reality retro is no cheaper than anyone else. It's just where you pay for the difference that changes. Scrod had no interest in using my account because that means I wouldn't be paying his inflated shipping prices. Talk about what people will do for a few bucks huh? I'm done here, mods close this thread.
Oh! I feel so exposed!

Not true at all. In fact, we very often lose a few bucks here and there on the shipping end of things due to the fact that boxes, tape and other and shipping materials don't grow on a ****ing tree and cost a lot of money. Until you're doing my accounting, you really can't speak for my shop.

Also, the lights and other utilities at the shop aren't powered by magic. So until you realize how things actually work in the real world, I suggest keeping your mouth shut.

At first, I was offering my help, advice, etc. without even so much as suggesting you buy the stuff from Retrogression. Now I see you're precisely the kind of fool who would get thrown out into the street on your ass if you ever walked into my shop with this "my way or the highway" attitude. Literally.

Good day, sir.
