| Taking a look today at the Chinese radio model sales on E-Bay, it is little wonder why the model shops cannot survive ? high overheads and renewed leases have kicked the shops in the backside more these past few years than ever before,things will never regain themselves on a local one to one personal shop basis ever again I doubt ? a shop plus staff,plus overheads,plus long opening hours depletes profit against a secure warehouse manned by its owner/webmaster who can sell far cheaper directly,it is all very sad but with rising costs who can really blame them ?
Shops will only be seen in museums in about another ten years time,and that is a conservative figure.
