I don't think I've paid an MSRP since the 60's! When K-Mart used to sell models, even their prices weren't MSRP prices. The box said 2.00 but the K-mart price was 1.50! So, in all honesty I haven't paid MSRP since the late 60's, early 70's BEFORE all the discount stores came into being. I'll NEVER pay MSRP's NOW. I'll get them on line or use the Micheal's, JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby coupons. Even my friend Tom, who's also a vendor/member of our club doesn't charge MSRP for his kits. I paid 22 bucks for my Mobius Chrysler 300, which I felt was fair.
