I believe someone said they could buy some meters at $3 plus shipping, then bring them to a hamfest and sell them for $7 to $8. That's 133 to 166 percent mark up I'd pay a 4 to 5 buck premium to save the trouble of ordering and paying the shipping, bringing it to me, etc. And you still getting the meter below its normal catalog price. How is this "sad"? And of course, at a hamfest, you can look at a guy's price for something and shake your head and walk on if you don't like it. Or offer him less.
