Personally I try and get ppl to ship such obviously over-priced things in.

Wasn't even talking about retailers, but private people who import a bunch and sell them for the cost the whole lot costs them then the new guy who starts goes to get a permit and the AO says no.

The AO simply cant say "no" without a good reason. Now if you are selling, yeah sure kind of suggests you need a dealer's endorsement. I must admit for myself I have not seen much of what you suggest is happening, but its simple if they are charging too much just get it off Brownells yourself which is what I do when the margin is 25%+ over brownells price.
