I did my research online for a good price on tires and then went down to the local MC shop to see if they could price match. The whole idea was to support the local shop. While at the shop I talked to the owner who was working the floor and parts department. I asked if he could match the price. He told me he would not as he would only make a 10% markup.
I don't have a degree in economics but that just did not make sense to me. 10% plus mounting and balancing sounds like a value plus to me. I am sure there is more to the story on the owners side but the shop is gone now replaced with a bicycle store.
