I understand the need to pay overhead and make a profit, so why even pretend there is "special pricing" on some of these items, because I still think H&H gives a good value on most of their products.

Greg,
Your insight is eye-opening. Have you called H&H and discussed this with them? Ron will be pleased to clear up any inequities that might be part of his business model, and will welcome your call so he's not made to look like he's inflating his prices to improve his profit margin. I'm certain there's a good answer for your concern, as I've never known him to cheat anyone I know who's bought from him.
