That's not Nicro's ripoff...that's West Marine's ripoff.
I don't know what Nicro's list price is...but I do know that WM charges
a whopping $17.95 for a 22-oz bottle of Raritan K.O. that has a factory
list price of $11.90. And I've heard of even worse price gouging by WM
than that.
The moral: despite WM's efforts to eradicate 'em there are lot of marine
retailers out there, so shop price! Even your local marine dock store is
likely to be cheaper than WM these days.
Hmmm. Interesting. Of course, when Boat US sold out to West Marine it put WM in
a near monopoly position in many markets. I do in fact shop many other vendors.
This one just happened to catch my eye but I will certainly be on the lookout
for others. If it's big bucks I am spending, I research pretty thoroughly.
Glad to see you back, Peggy. You were missed there for awhile.
