Some vendors will sell at MSRP. Many will not. AC Supply does not sell at MSRP, but one must have an account and use a coupon code now in order to receive the discount.If vendors and Estes are going to sell at MSRP, I just as well give the business to Apogee in appreciation of all the free videos and other content they provide.

I am willing to pay the Apogee "tax" every now and then out of gratitude, but not on Estes motors.
That much is true. I will buy from Apogee, but only if it's somehow the cheapest option (I can buy everything I need from them and not have to buy from 3+ separate venders) or there's no other place to buy what I want.They have some items that are unique, excellent
It's the newsletters that have some value to me, but I think the videos are helpful to the hobby as a whole. As @SolarYellow says, they have some unique and often high-quality parts. I tend to save up a list of what I need from them and order once or twice a year. But I steer clear of their marked-up items.While I use to find value in the videos that Apogee puts out, I don't really care for them these days and haven't watched more that a minute or two of any their stuff in many years. It's still good information for beginners but I felt I quickly outgrew their content.
I don't feel that what they offer outweighs the often, outrageous price of some of their items.
I drive through CS 3 or 4 times a year, I keep saying I will take time to stop and visit but I'm usually under time constraint and go through there outside of business hours.Considering that I can get everything that I need in one place -- and that I basically get a refund on every purchase -- I don't see any need to go anywhere else. The service is great, Tim is a wealth of knowledge, and it does not hurt that they are just 5 minutes from my house!

I don't have accounts with any online retailers so hard to see what the prices really are, if they are playing that game. I usually buy LPR motors from Hobby Lobby but they don't have C11 or C5. I was trying to price online and could only fidn them for about $6 each.

FYI C11s are $7.89 for a 2-pack and C5s are $10.29 for a 3-pack from Hobbylinc - AC Supply’s discounted price (for folks with an account who use their discount code) will be a bit less.
deletedThis will help Apogee Components. They sell rocket motors at MSRP or higher. If vendaors and Estes are going to sell at MSRP, I just as well give the business to Apogee in appreciation of all the free videos and other content they provide.
Not that I’ve seen though eRockets will puts items on sale or clearance at a discount.I was snooping around on the net and found that acsupplyco.com shows reduced prices when you add to cart. I was trying to compare prices on erockets.biz and they were showing msrp even when added to cart. Do they have reduced prices if you have an account or a code?
No. ERockets charges the prices they show on the website.Not that I’ve seen though eRockets will puts items on sale or clearance at a discount.
