I was hooked into collecting by Collectors Aircraft Models over in London many years ago, not because they had cheap prices, but because they had such an incredible selection and display of the models. The airliner shows WERE great too; now they're just a dumping ground for excess inventory.
Personally, I think the internet (to a lesser degree) and e-bay (to a greater degree) have ruined the business end of this hobby, and the hobby in general!
Carry on!

What have you been smoking tonight Andrew? Add up what Nick and I alone spend on your product over a one month period of time and then tell me that that the Internet has runied your business. Quite the reverse. You have profited quite nicely from it. Now let's add Dave Wilson, who sells exclusively from the Internet who got his begining via Ebay and tell me that you have suffered at all from the Internet and its impact on the hobby. If it were not for the Internet you would not have this hobby and you would not have a forum to promote the hobby. Thank Bill Gates for every bit of it.
And Andy, full or yourself, as always.
