I don't think shop prices in general are ridiculous, but they do reflect what is perhaps a 20th century retail business model. I do think that the whole bricks and mortar business model is and must change. Perhaps the independents such as you and your employer need to think about how to reach wider markets for custom work - there are many customers looking for work such as you do Marc, who will not find their way to where you work, for example.
