Yes, I know...it's the importers who are the problem. The dealers can't do much except take their cut out of it, but the vast majority of the inflated price is through the importers/wholesalers.
The only way we're going to see an change in this is if the government cracks down on this or someone else gets in on the action and undercuts the present distributors.
