That is common practice in the alarm industry, Eddy.  I get a lot of
flak here for offering hardware at prices slightly above installer
cost.  You can order Bosch sensors online from a number of sources,
including www.BassBurglarAlarms.com but we don't accept credit card
orders unless the card has a US address.  This cuts down on fraud
which is a major problem for online vendors.  We do ship overseas
though.
