So? Thule marks most of their stuff up about 400%.
Yakima marks there's up something slightly less than that.
As long as they aren't colluding, businesses can charge what the market will bear.
If there was sooooooo much margin in gasoline, a mom & pop gas station would charge 5 cents a Litre less and cash in on the increase in sales volume.
