Apart from pricing of 2nd hand guns, franchise owners really do have their hands tied in relation to new product pricing. However one of the benefits of franchises is benefiting from lower cost price due to larger purchasing power, this is then passed onto the consumer.... something that H&F head office seems to not have realised.

In it to make a killing not a living.
