Margins are around 50 - 80% usually, but for these high-cost & low-bulk items we can't
compete at any margin, unless the distributor gets their price down. I don't know if
these webstores get better prices from BD than the local distributor, probably since they
buy more, and of course their margin must be heaps less.

Anyone from Sea to Summit like to comment? (he says without much hope).
