i know bicycle parts are expensive in stores -the UK companies selling stuff at really cheap prices have no store -& directly drop ship from Asia..keeping post prices right down, one dealer i spoke to said he cant't buy the goods off the bike parts manufacturer for what it retailed for online..what hope did he have

The local (and physical) bike shop in Tahmoor isn't too bad price wise when compared to Europe. In fact, any bits I need for the bike I have in NZ I get from him & take them over. He recently dug out a new/unused mid 90s 5-bolt STX chainring for me, which I wouldn't even know where to start looking on line.
