It's the float - and they're basically floating your
cash to their advantage.

It happened to me - and others on this list - in a
big way a few years back.  They were going through a horrible cash flow
period, but I felt used then and still remember it today.  So even though I
still buy from TRF - due to the fact that they help support our hobby - it's
for far less than I used to.
