    $57.95 for 407 Latex Casting Rubber 16oz ?!?! That's way too much. So I got it shipped for thirty dollars. 9.95 shipping fee. At the brick and mortar store, please don't rip people off so much. That's just highway robbery

    Terrible product selection and insane prices. Within 30 seconds of googling I found that many products were marked up 300-400% versus online options. DO NOT GO HERE. This store seems to only be for taking advantage of wealthy northwestern students. Just go to Amazon and you can get $80 marker sets for $15-$20 (exact same branding and specs as in store). I’ll likely never be back and will hesitate to visit any blick store in the future.
