This being said, if you want to be a Superb fanboy and support their overinflated prices, I'll still sleep soundly.
Haha, name calling? Ok, so a LED light manufactured in China has a markup far over 100%, but when that's scaled up it's suddenly obscene? It's all relative and you're operating a tiny, tiny shop. Deciding to take the "high road" and hold low margin may be noble but not always the smartest. You're just taking a slice of the pie. The manufacture is certainly doing whatever they can to increase their margin.

I'm not affiliated no, but I am a fan of privately owned local business and I think you have little knowledge on cost, margin, and longevity. I'm a customer of both Scrod's and Superb. I prefer Scrod's prices. Nagrom and the like are children, caught a peak behind the curtain, and freaked out. These markups are completely ordinary.
