| Yes maybe.... But one can get a job at McDonald's for $11.25 an hour up here too! Prices are in sync (somewhat) with wages. And I've seen Indys cheaper than $65. |

Indy ships the trucks to NHS who sells them to another distributor that marks them up after paying shipping, taxes and import duties.
There's some significant escalation of cost that gets built into pricing.
The distributor then sells to shops who have to pay the shipping and then mark it up and put it on the shelf.
Due to the length of the Canadian winter, most skate shops mark their product up much higher than US shops as they need to make X-amount of dollars in the spring, summer and fall to see them through the meek winter sales, or they go bankrupt.
The shops you frequent probably just pop over to Ermico and pick up a couple cases, negating the shipping and possibly back-door discounted. |

| yeah, i get lucky that way. my son had received a gift card for the vans store for christmas and wanted to use it today so he used it on a pair of indy 129s. they were $19.99 each at that store (in a mall). I think they are more like $14 each at DLX since that's basically direct pricing. |

Indys are $100 a set here retail.
Anyone ridden the Radikal Talons? I'm considering getting a set but a lot of dough to outlay without having ridden them first. Cost $375 here. |
