I was just wondering what the largest markup you have found on a magic trick. I'm *not* talking about things that have been created or modified. Instead, what items have you bought from a magic source only to find the exact same thing a whole lot cheaper out in the real world at a fraction of the cost?
For example, Roughing spray is pretty well known to be Testors Dullcote. I don't know how much a can of the Dullcote in the USA costs but it's probably a lot cheaper than Roughing Spray. Any takers?

Killer Red Caps? Luckily I don't have this, but I don't know, how much does the lid off a can of WD40 cost?
Protocol 153-51 ? Ask any serious balloon modeller and he will tell you where to get the gimmick for pennies.
