Most German modellers that I know & have spoken to seem to prefer to shop "in the flesh" & see the actual item they are purchasing.
This could be one of the reasons why there are a lot of model/hobby shops in Germany (sometimes three or more in relativly small towns) & less internet activity. At the end of the day (IMHO) there is nothing like personal contact, going to the shop, meet other like-minded people & of course finding those odd little bits & pieces after a rummage.
Also, they do not seem as preoccupied with getting the item for the cheapist rate as some people. The internet is good, but it is not the be all & end all.
