The trouble with GEMM is either GEMM adds a hefty surcharge, or only overpriced stores are listing there - it's a great idea, though.

Each item price is set by the individual sellers at GEMM, and I am one of literally hundreds there. I have made several VERY reasonable purchases through GEMM as well, all with complete satisfaction. If you don't mind taking the time to hunt, you won't be overwhelmed or put off by the volume of material there, and its reasonably obvious who the reliable sellers are. For anyone curious, my listings at GEMM are at:

Thanks for looking.
