I can understand a LITTLE markup for local guys, but when I am essentially paying a markup equivalent to 2.5 people's hourly wages over what ZWO charges for the same 2" filter, you can understand why many of us are starting to go direct. $80 extra for a filter??? I'd be fine at $20 over, but when each sale is such a mark up or more, plus a LONG wait, there is no way this black duck is going to pay it.
