So easy to say. My local stores all have at least a 25 to 50 percent markup on anything on Amazon. Cameras to drones to computers to auto parts. Amazon beats on price by a huge margin. I'd love to buy tyres and oil from the local shop but the 50 to 100 percent price difference is not worth it.

When your counterfeit Michelins blow out and your engine siezes up on the counterfeit Castrol you may have a different view on prices and value.

  You have no way of knowing that the overpriced stuff at the local garage is not fake either. I've had the Austrian consumer affairs department intervene on my behalf a number of times when local garages attempt to overprice on items that were either not required during the service or overpriced. I've had local plumbers try to charge double the price on certain items when they thought I wouldn't notice. Your rose colored glasses are quaint. Everybody is out to make a buck and I wouldn't put it past local shops to buy fake products and charge double for it. I'd rather my fake stuff at a decent price thankyou.
